Hey folks, Harry here... oh man... what a fucking Cannes! With the future brilliance of FAHRENHEIT 9/11 sure to ignite headlines and press everywhere... and to add to that, Hopkins' THE LIFE AND DEATH OF PETER SELLERS, Mamoru Oshii's INNOCENCE (dying to see it), Chan Wook Park's genius let loose with OLD BOY, Wong Kar-Wai's 2046 -- which I just have no words to hide my anticipation for. Then the hidden surprises. There's geniune gold at Cannes this year. I envy everyone going!
