...love coming here. We've done so for 34 years, tasting the local strawberries and fine wines when we're not testing the films on view. Once again we'll be filing daily dispatches on the movies, press conferences, parties and other events of this, the 60th Cannes Film Festival. When the new works of the Coen brothers, Emir Kusturica, Gus Van Sant, Hou Hsiao-hsien and other world-class directors are shown, we'll report on them.
