In the end, we don't see enough of Cannes and maybe too much of Kaz. But you have to accept or reject Jaglom as you might a walk on the Croisette, taking the bitter with the sweet.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 20, 2002

A picture as charmingly insubstantial as the world it invokes.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 12, 2002

At its best ... Festival in Cannes bubbles with the excitement of the festival in Cannes.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 25, 2002

One of [Jaglom's] better efforts -- a wry and sometime bitter movie about love.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 12, 2002

Little more than a briefly fascinating curiosity, a travelogue for those of us who can't actually attend (and now would not wish to).

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Mar 31, 2002

The locale ... remains far more interesting than the story at hand.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5 | Mar 29, 2002

Jaglom makes some deft connections between personal and businesslike forms of seduction.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 29, 2002

A rambling ensemble piece with loosely connected characters and plots that never quite gel.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 29, 2002

Offers a wonderfully entertaining look at the veterans, neophytes, phonies, truth seekers, profiteers and artists who populate the movie industry.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 22, 2002

Like most of Jaglom's films, some of it is honestly affecting, but more of it seems contrived and secondhand.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 22, 2002

Does just fine until it collapses into the equivalent of a group hug down the stretch.

Full Review | Original Score: B- | Mar 21, 2002

It isn't a good movie, but it is diverting, a showcase for Anouk Aimee, Greta Scacchi and Ron Silver, and a peephole on behind-the-scenes moves.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 21, 2002

Jaunty fun, with its celeb-strewn backdrop well used.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 15, 2002

Daffy, engrossing, enlightening and entertaining.

Full Review | Mar 13, 2002

This isn't a terrible film by any means, but it's also far from being a realized work.

| Mar 9, 2002

You've got the most percussive navel-gazer in independent film bringing together such type-A personalities as Zack Norman and Ron Silver, and then having them toot their trombones at each other for the better part of 90 minutes.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 8, 2002

It's quite an achievement to set and shoot a movie at the Cannes Film Festival and yet fail to capture its visual appeal or its atmosphere.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Mar 8, 2002

A giddy comic fantasy, full of romance, chicanery and beguiling, sophisticated players.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 8, 2002

If Festival in Cannes nails hard- boiled Hollywood argot with a bracingly nasty accuracy, much about the film, including some of its casting, is frustratingly unconvincing.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 7, 2002

It thankfully goes easy on the reel/real world dichotomy that [Jaglom] pursued with such enervating determination in Venice/Venice.
