It's funny how everything looks so dazzling on the rack, and so blah on the person. Soon after I returned to my hotel and rummaged through my collection of evening wear to find the perfect "look" for my Bollywood night. It looks like Cannes opens up a lot of doors for youngsters who are interested in pursuing a career in cinema. I spoke with the director Chris Faulisi from Albany County, NY, who was just an intern at Cannes last year. I must say watching the film was like being on an emotional roller coaster, as you navigated through the suspenseful plot. The pavilion does light up, however, with parties and receptions.īefore attending the many scheduled events sponsored by the Bollywood fraternity, I began my day watching "A Proper Violence." The story of a husband and brother-in-law plotting to kill their wife and sister's rapist. A nice space but it is quite small and bare, not doing justice to the powerhouse that the Indian entertainment industry is. And why shouldn't it? After all, it is the largest entertainment industry in the world! Today I visited the Indian pavilion. Oh, Bollywood! The Indian film industry is definitely showing off its presence in Cannes.
