For a moment, it felt like it was old Cannes.

On Sunday night, as the festival crawled towards the midpoint, news came out that Mubi was Mubi, the Oscar success rate of “The Teelts” reached a $1 billion valuation, and he made $24 million for “Die My Love”. The film is the most polarizing one of the Cannes Film Festivals, but here, Mubi spent more money at the domestic box office to release avant-garde relationship drama. Perhaps that makes sense, because "Death My Love" features Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson, while movie stars are endangered species.

They are a rare variety on the Cannes red carpet, where studios primarily resist the premiere of splashes. Tom Cruise makes an exception, riding the global hype machine of "Task: Impossible - The Last Estimation" to the palace's steps, where he meets MEH. Otherwise, the upcoming summer blockbuster "F1" and "How to Train Your Dragon" ceded the stage to Indian and international films. For entertainment companies, it's hard for entertainment companies to spend $1 million or more on a Cannes launch when the box office struggles and profit margins evaporate.

There are other signs of thrift. Companies send fewer executives to scout movies, restaurants seem less packaged, and the massive banners that usually cover Croisette are never unveiled.

Other wounds are caused by themselves. Nude color new red carpet ban has many stars and fashionistas left the best look on the shelf. Cannes is the epitome of overdo and charm.

When the festival is ready, these are five harvests in southern France.

Political Rock

The opening night of the Cannes Film Festival exudes the power of the film, but this year's kickoff has shaken the world by chaos and massacre. Robert De Niro, who received the Lifetime Achievement Award, used his admissions speech to blow up Trump as a “Philistine”, urging artists to “organize, protest and, of course, when there is election, of course, vote.” In her speech, Juliette Binoche, who was in charge of the jury, drew attention to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and other hot ass issues. "War, pain, climate change, primitive misogyny - our savage demons won't let us go," she said. Cannes may be a bubble, but some horrors cannot be ignored.

LinkLater lights up the screen

No one likes movies more than the ones who make movies. So it's no surprise that Richard Linklater's "Nouvelle is ambiguous" is a love letter to Jean-Luc Godard and the happy band of the French idol layer who changed the cinema in the 1960s and got a warm embrace from the Cannes crowd. The film is a consensus favorite among festival viewers and Palme d'Or's campaign. It already has buyers hovering around, and many distributors speculate that it can be successful here. brave!

Frugal festival

We haven't participated in the global recession yet, but demonstrated a preemptive penny. Croisette is often home to the giant activation of the upcoming studio release, and is TheadBare. Paramount brought a huge Air Force pilot helmet to promote "Top Gun: Maverick" in 2022, while "Mission: Impossion - Impossiment - Final Estimate" just got some super-large screens in front of Carlton. Hotel marinas are often booked for photo opportunities and are also empty. And, there isn't a stop blowout on the party list (see Elton John and Taron Egerton on stage singing "Rocket Man" on stage in 2019, or the thrilling display of the luxurious "Sound: Star Wars Story" that caused the previous year). On the sales front, many movies still need homes besides Mubi's "Die My Love" deal.

Covered fashion

For all the wild experiments we see at the Cannes Film Festival on the big screen, the festival’s history is an organized history of what can appear on its legendary red carpet. There are strict rules for the stairs on the stage that suffocates in the deepest red coating. No selfies. Women must wear high heels. As of this year, neither naked or elaborate gowns have developed without stunting. The festival bans "spread dresses" (meaning no long train) exaggerated sleeves or anything "restricted movement" in the first place. The nude ban is interpreted as the unexposed nipples. The change in the rules forced jury member Halle Berry to attribute her opening night, thanks to the dramatic train. It runs in the stockings of Hollywood’s influential designers who see it as the buzz of the fashion blowout of the year.

The first time the player has a ball

The Cannes Film Festival has never been a first time director, and hopes the festival will spread fairy tales throughout their careers. But, debuts, especially in a certain competition, have all kinds of debuts – rarely matched the star power displayed this year. Kristen Stewart ("The Chronology of Water"), Harris Dickinson ("Urchin") and Scarlett Johansson ("Eleanor the Great") — none of them strangers to the festival as actors — all brought their first features from behind the lens to the Croisette, while there were very buzzy debts from Harry Lighton ("Pillion," starring Alexander Skarsgård) and Akinola Davis Jr. ("My Father's Shadow" starring Sopé Dìrísù). All have won wide applause and wide praise. As far as Stewart is concerned typeThe comments describe it as "an exciting drama" and tell it with "poetic enthusiasm." A celebrity director was born.
