Title: King of Cannes
Product review: This is a great book. It accomplishes what it sets out to do: to give the reader a look at the "behind the scenes" happenings of the biggest film festival in the world! The narrative voice is very strong and the dry british wit makes it quite a page-turner! You do laugh out loud...and you just want to keep reading and reading.Another thing that also made this book very interesting, was the fact that it didn't merely focus on the "star-gazing" aspect of the industry, rather it mentions some important personalities in indie cinema and allows the readers to see the difficulties that independent filmakers face -- all this is juxtaposed to the glamorous stars and personalities of Hollywood who attend Cannes and are actually welcomed there (as opposed to our narrator here!)A great read!
