Bienvenue a Cannes!
Welcome, welcome, to international film’s most important annual event. Cannes history is littered with triumphs and tragedies, careers made and lost on the glittering shores of the French Riviera. Surrounding all that creative peacocking is a whole cottage industry of parties, panels, and other Euro pomp. Vanity Fair will be on the ground for the entirety of the festival’s 78th edition, covering the dizzying highs and wine-soaked lows of international film’s most important annual event. Follow along with us here for up-to-the-minute news, gossip, and reviews.
