Day 8 - Cannes Film Festival 2011

Poster for The Skin I Live In starring Antonio Banderas

Post Screening of the Japanese Film Ichimei at the Palais de Festival

I am starting to get swollen feet from walking the red carpet at Cannes. Today, Day 8 of the festival I walked the red carpet for both screenings. The Pedro Almodovar film starring Antonio Banderas "La Piel Que Habito (The skin I Live In)" was an amazing film with an interesting storyline, one that I would never have guessed. This is a must see movie for real movie fans who enjoy a good story which does not have a cliche ending.

The second screening was the Japanese entry in competition "Ichimei" the story of a samurai done in 3D. Did not think I would like it in the beginning but ended up enjoying it.

I also had another celebrity citing other than the ones on the red carpet. I was in my favorite lounge at the Carleton when Ivana Trump strolled past. I must say she looked amazing. There is something to be said for money. She is much taller and thinner than I imagined. The dress was a knockout. A figure hugging silver number with a train. She was probably on the way to the AMFAR Party at the Hotel Du Cap in Antibes one of the biggest parties held during the festival. Strictly for the rich and famous. I have not reached that level "yet" but you know me, try, try till you succeed and with patience anything is possible.

Anywho, stay tuned as there are only two more days to go and Festival de Cannes 2011 will be over. Can't wait to see the winners.

Friday, Day 9 of the festival we are trying to get invitations to see Drive starring Brian Gosling

I am totally over the badass car in Cannes. I have seen more Rolls, Bentleys, Lamborghini's and Ferrari's than should be allowed in one place. Not to mention that people drive crazy on the narrow streets of Cannes. Makes Boston drivers look like wimps.
