On the surface, it seems somewhat ludicrous, the idea of Brad Pitt portraying a character who in many ways lives comfortably in the shadow of someone else. A rare movie star in the throwback sense of the description, Pitt has been a megawatt celebrity for so long, his high-profile romantic relationships unwillingly feeding the gaping maws of the tabloid industry, that the notion of him being able to convincingly blend into the background in an ensemble piece seems difficult to reconcile with his level of fame.

The stars are starting to blossom on the Lido carpet like blooms in spring. Tight tubes of material were the preference, with belts becoming a thing.

“To me (this (film) is as much of a memory piece as, say, Roma was for Alfonso (Cuarón)” Quentin Tarantino recently told HFPA journalists about Once Upon a Time.

When Quentin Tarantino comes to Cannes everyone steps up their game. Fashion had a fabulous night when A-listers walked the carpet at the premiere of Once Upon A Time in Hollywood.

As we gear up for Cannes, the HFPA’s Elisabeth Sereda takes a look at previous festival misbehaviour and expects more to come. The line-up was announced by festival programmer Thierry Fremaux and Cannes president Gilles Jacob With Berlin and Sundance over and as we gear up for Cannes, the talk among the international press is not so much what films are going to be shown (we can look that up) as to who is going to misbehave in the most entertaining way.
