Krissy at the closing ceremony of the 61st Cannes Festival
Closing ceremony of the 61st Cannes Festival Cannes has repackaged its steps, rolled its red carpet, closed the doors of its Palais. The great lady of the French Riviera told us » next year » And it's been 61 years. The actresses have returned their jewels, their dresses, their rhinestones, the palaces regain their calm, the streets forget their oppressive traffic of the festival period. A handful of students from the 20th arrondissement of Paris experienced fame, they found their high school, welcomed like stars by their comrades, head filled with flashes and stars. Their film « Between the walls » is a nugget not to miss as soon as he comes out next fall! A feature film that allowed us to win this palm that we had been unaware of for 21 years...

PALME D
THE PALME D'OR TO COLLEGIANS The 61st Cannes Film Festival crowned yesterday, a French film, Between the Walls, docu-fiction by Laurent Cantet, on a class of college students who accompanied him on stage. I met them at the chatter cocktail given at the Salon des Ambassadeurs or Thierry Frémaux invited me to congratulate the high school students of the 20th arrondissement of Paris who discovered the Cannes Festival and left with the Palme d'Or! A Palme class! Maurice Pialat would surely have liked it. Sean Penn just found him a worthy successor. Laurent Cantet wins the first Palme d'or for France since Under Satan's sun That was 21 years ago. Between the walls conquered the jury and a large part of the public who became passionate about this chronicle of life of a fourth class in a difficult establishment (College Françoise Dolto, Paris 20e). COCKTAIL : During the cocktail, Sean Penn relax pleasant and take pictures with the young Lyceans who drink at the coca! CLIC ON THE PICS! PHOTOS HUGO MAYER Article Share

25 MAY: BRUCE WILLIS, NIRO AND SEAN PENN CLOSING THE FESTIVAL
For the Fence 3 Giants De Niro, Bruce Willis, Sean Penn on the Croistte, Robert will hand over the palm! For the closing, in a film by American filmmaker Barry Levinson, who will be entitled to the honours of the marches. Rainman's director hasn't convinced us since Wag the Dog in 1997. What just happened? is obviously to gather stars like Bruce Willis, Robert de Niro, Catherine Keener, Stanley Tucci, John Turturro, and... Sean Penn in his own role. Because this film, which was punctuated in Sundance earlier in the year, will prove to be a rather narcissistic exercise for the Cannes Film Festival, since one of the scenes of this adapatation of a book on the backstage of Hollywood studios takes place on the Croisette.

CLOTURE OF THE 59TH FESTIVAL: CEREMONIA
CEREMONIE DE CLOTURE : It's the galley today, too flattered, restaurant, badoit... I have no place... Well, almost, just a little white card for a party after the ceremony, anyway, « safe house » In the front row behind the row of photographers who machine-gun is all right! No bowl, the channel manager more sits on the steps in front of me... I'm sitting right in front of Claudia Chiffer, Loupé for discretion... So much so we're gonna let go of the fence! Five Africans who come back from afar: Male Performance Award for »Indigenous » It would have been inconceivable to separate him because on the screen they are incarnate only one man: one of those 600,000 enlisted in the African army that greatly helped to free France from the Nazis in 1944, well played! Pedro is crying in the middle of the 6 actresses of « Volver » It's his consolation lot. 7pm: Arrival in the lobby of the Grand Auditorium (we meet charming people Noémie Lenoir) always very nice and yesterday resplendent!

Very elegant dresses worn by perfect models. 3pm: Majestic beach where we send our post in the afternoon. HP (We thank the representatives of Hewlett Pacard for their great availability) welcomes us and j Only that day there's a little computer problem we run into a cyber... Too many people, our two bikes rave. On the way, Hugo finds on the ground a pass for CENTURY 21st... We don't know what it is yet! 4pm: I find Manu, Sylvaine & Hugo at Cocktail Fugi on a terrace in Carlton. 6pm: Back at Majestic, we're at a cocktail. Time to take a break!
