Cannes-Cannes

Doing a slow-motion, déjà vu Cannes-Cannes at the 72nd International Film Festival which he covered as a journalist from 1985-2004.

The pink press card/credential number The Idiot was issued when he covered the Cannes International Film Festival from 1985-2004, when he was on assignment for People and other media, was the same one first issued in the early 1970s when he interviewed Andy Warhol at Cannes.
The hot topic/ticket so far this week was Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and the lousy weather which prevented The Idiot and others from going topless on the police-patrolled beach.

Long-sleeve shirts were purchased by many at the Film Festival boutique on the Croisette due to the lousy weather.

Even trying to score a ticket to Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood attracted media attention on a slow afternoon at the 72nd Cannes International Film Festival.

The lousy weather prevented The Idiot and others from going topless on the nearly empty beach.

The Idiot was so bored at the 72nd International Film Festival in Cannes that he skimmed through the dailies published by the trade press. Gosh, what happened to gossip and reporting some decent dirty scoops?
