...Festival veterans of a certain age (and we are) remember when Cannes moved at a more leisurely pace. After a couple of morning movies, one took a salade nicoise lunch at a beach restaurant, then rented a mattress and sunbathed for an indolent hour. The films then were part of a comprehensive Riviera experience: visiting the medieval town of St. Paul de Vence, seeing the Miro and Matisse works at the Maeght Museum, roller-coastering on Provence's precarious cornices. No time for that any more. Our schedules are busier than a big city mayor's. We are slaves...
...show up a half-hour early for the big movies, chat with our film-critic friends, compare notes, plan the next day of too many screenings that, by the Festival's end, are never quite enough. For us, Cannes is the beginning of cinema's liturgical year, our favorite rite of spring, a time for total immersion in international cinema, at a 12-day party (with lots of work, mind you) on the Côte d'Azur.

I never put stuff in gratuitously. I think that's a misconception. Like how many can I squeeze in. Things like the page with the contents of Doritos or the pages of the numbers, to me that's pop art - it's trying...
...land. Canteen offers freshly executed traditional British fare?macaroni and cheese, meat pies and all-day breakfasts?served with a mission statement that boasts of the kitchen's organic and local sourcing. There is a Fast Service menu for those who can only flee their desk for an hour, but we chose comfort food: a skillet of creamy baked eggs with undyed smoked haddock and spring onion, and a chicken-and-tarragon pie with mashed potatoes, greens and gravy. For dessert, we shared the strangely satisfying chocolate-and-beetroot cake. The service was friendly and efficient. But when I returned...
