The Cannes Film Festival is in full swing, and I just wanted to point out Roger Ebert's coverage of the festival in his blog. According to Ebert, "Cannes is still the most important annual event in the world of what some of us consider good cinema." As someone who is still interested in "good cinema," I'm eager to see what films will emerge as the toast of the festival. He writes a new entry each day (seven so far) about the films he has seen, the atmosphere of the festival, and the current state of cinema. The pieces are well-written, edifying, and entertaining; I'd expect nothing less from Mr. Ebert. Below are links to the first seven entries in the series.
Cannes #1: On a darkling plain
Cannes #2: A magical curtain for Jacques Tati
Cannes #3: Greed may still be good
Cannes #4: A good film, a bad film, and a friend
Cannes #5: Waiting for Godard
Cannes #6: Of emotion and its absence
Cannes #7: A campaign for Real Movies
