We’re packing for Cannes as I write this—four different dinner jackets, half a dozen white pique formal shirts, studs, cufflinks and the works—for nearly 12 nights of black tie (though some of the nights, Daniel [Benedict] and I steal away from the Croisette, and head to our favorite Cote d’Azur restaurants, La Colombe D’Or and Tetou). The Cannes Film Festival is a glamorous whirlwind of brilliant and enlightening cinema, with celebrations going until 5 AM nightly. And I’m not nearly rested enough, coming off of our New York premieres of Captain America, Maggie’s Plan and more! But I can’t wait to see the brilliant choices of Cannes masterminds Thierry Fremaux and Pierre Lescure—I’ve heard that they watched nearly 1,900 films (1,900!) to select 49. Of the 49, here are the ones I’m hoping to see…
