If you’ve never actually been here and if you’ve ever wondered what it’s like, there is only one thing you need to understand about the Cannes Film Festival.

The sidewalks become full of water and its impossible to avoid soaking shoes and pants, since the rain falls at an angle. You really just want to give up, because you never pack a raincoat when thinking of the sunny cote d'azur. It was on one of these days, tha...
Day 1 at Cannes started bright and early, if maybe not a little too early for me. By the time we got to the hotel the night before, it was midnight, and by the time we had unpacked and washed off the filth of travel, it was after 1am. Even though I luckily fell asleep pretty damn quick, my body was woken up at 5.30am for some strange reason. I spent the next 90 minutes lying there hoping to fall back asleep, but I guess knowing what was about to come, kept me up.
At 7am when the alarm ...
