...Defining careers have also been celebrated this year. Thirty-five of Cannes' veteran auteurs have contributed three-minute filmettes to a compilation called Chacun Son Cinéma (To Each His Own Cinema). The theme is the movie theater. Predictably and poignantly, these brief movies are mostly nostalgic evocations of a communal film experience that may vanish in the face of audience-segmenting multiplex cinemas and the continued development of home-entertainment technology.
