Summary: Cannes long known privileged holiday spot for the English gentry, has become a world-famous city where the pleasure of showing off holds court. For more than 50 years it has welcomed, once a year, a film event that is as much a carnival of illusions as it is a bedlam. Here, reels of dreams unwind on a gigantic screen, set against a backdrop of palm trees and palaces, and the human comedy organizes itself on a square mile of sand, sensuality, and stories. This volume captures the atmosphere of Cannes and in the process shows how the city continues to rewrite the history of the Cote d'Azur, of cinema, and contemporary mores.
