Tonight’s feature, Christophe Honoré’s ‘Chansons d’amour’, is a musical drama about a few 20-somethings who smoke, walk around Paris, smoke, talk about their sex lives and smoke, all while occasionally bursting out into songs, which most of the time reminded me of that line in ‘Singing in the Rain’: “Lina – she can’t sing, she can’t dance, she can’t act”. It all ends well, though, as Ismaël (a reference to Herman Melville’s world and its homoerotic undercurrent?) finally finds some relief from those nagging women in the arms of a teenage boy. However, I found the music enchanting.
After the film, we skipped the Paris Premiere bash - who cares for cool parties?

Hey we want to know about the parties! You can feed stuff to perezhilton.com! Be its Cannes source! The party is where the stars are and hence where you could potentially make connections that certain members of your entourage could take advantage of (hint, hint).
