Only the not so rich (or potentially smartest) rent them out to production companies and film studios for parties and receptions.

This was supposed to be Fury Road’s weekend, with the iconic character of Mad Max now inherited by Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron in the role of the bald headed scary, and scarred, Imperator Furiosa.

The weekend belonged to women – onscreen and off. Amy, the documentary on the late, great Amy Winehouse moved festival goers to tears at a midnight screening Saturday night.

One of the loudest and longest applause heard in Cannes so far was surely the one that followed the early morning press screening of Mia Madre at the packed Salle Lumière. Sustained and well deserved, it was an appreciation of Italian director Nanni Moretti’s latest film, which many consider to be his best yet and which has garnered some of the loudest buzz of this 68th edition.
