...known him for 48 years, almost half a century. We met on a film in 1960. It was a low-budget black-and-white independent film called War Hunt. He was an actor. I was an actor. It was the first film I ever acted in. He and I became friends on that film and we became I would say kindred spirits. Like any novice artists starting out, we decided that we knew everything that was wrong about the production. We commiserated on it and we kind of bonded on that. We had very similar sensibilities and I think very...
...Steven Soderbergh's four-and-a-half hours detailing of Ernesto Guevara's two rebel campaigns in Cuba and Bolivia, was denied the Palme d'Or many expected, but Benicio del Toro, the film's indefatigable star, was named Best Actor. The Best Actress award went to Sandra Corveloni, who played the pregnant single mother trying to keep her poor family together in the Brazilian Linha de Passe, directed by Walter Salles and Daniela Thompson. At the ceremony, Thompson revealed that Corveloni was herself pregnant and had just lost the child. She said the award would be balm...
...which policies are made and plots are hatched; the whispered threats and even more ominous silences. The men walk slowly, but Sorrentino's camera moves at a racing glide, turning this talkathon into a thrillingly moving picture.

Steven Soderbergh's Che is getting Palme d'Or buzz. So is Clint Eastwood,s Changeling. Other films being talked up are the Israeli docu-animation Waltz With Bashir, the French family drama A Christmas Tale and the Belgian The Silence of Lorna, from two-time Palme d'Or laureates Jean-Pierre...
...Legion inducting honorees whose selection induces a blanching response among people of taste. While professional cynics such Porte lavishly mock a national joke (and Sarkozy pal) such as wrinkled rocker Johnny Hallyday enjoying Legion membership, they energetically defend Jerry Lewis deserving the same honor. Similarly, while some argue that actor G?rard Depardieu has done more than enough to merit his selection, it's difficult to find anyone in France who even knows who kitsch artist Jeff Koons is - much less why he's sharing a tribute with Helen Keller, Hans Blix and Jacques Cousteau. And you don't have...
