Released in 2001, Festival in Cannes is a comedy and drama film directed by Henry Jaglom, running about 100 minutes. “The scene behind the scenes.” — that tagline sets the tone.
What it’s about. Cannes, 1999. Alice, an actress, wants to direct an indie picture. Kaz, a talkative (and maybe bogus) deal maker, promises $3 million if she'll use Millie, an aging French star. But, Rick, a big producer, needs Millie for a small part in a fall movie or he loses his star, Tom Hanks. Is Kaz for real? Can Rick sweet-talk Alice and sabotage Kaz to keep Millie from taking that deal? Millie consults with Victor, her ex, about which picture to make, Rick needs money, an ingenue named Blue is discovered, Kaz hits on Victor's new love, and Rick's factotum connects with Blue. Knives go in various backs. Wheels spin. Which deals - and pairings - will be consummated?
Who’s in it. Festival in Cannes stars Anouk Aimée as Millie Marquand, Ron Silver as Rick Yorkin, Greta Scacchi as Alice Palmer and Maximilian Schell as Viktor Kovner, among others.
