Poster for Sleeping Beauty

Today has been a big day for me On the Carpet. Walked the carpet twice in one evening. Saw the film "Sleeping Beauty" an Australian film directed by Julia Leigh in competition for the Camera D'Or . A very intriguing film about a university student who takes a job as a sleeping beauty to fund her studies. Can't tell you much more because it will ruin it for you in case you want to see it.

Stars who turned up for this screening included Jimon Hounsou (didn't see Kemora anywhere, hmmm)

The second screening was a film in competition for the Palme D'Or "We need to talk about Kevin" also a woman director named Lynne Ramsay. This is a very emotional and sad film, very cleverly filmed in a past/present format. Should be a leader for the Award and it's time for a woman to win the Palme.

Stopped in at my favorite hangout Nikki Beach Club and discovered my favorite waiter has moved to the new Nikki Beach Club in Las Vegas.

Stay tuned,

June Bug
