In its usual dramatic fashion, the Cannes Film Festival set the tone on Tuesday night with an honorary award for Michael Douglas. The spectators were then treated to a trip to the Chateau de Versailles for the opening film "Jeanne du Barry", by actress and director Maïwenn who is living proof that fairytales really can come true.
Cannes is a place where dreams are made. A gathering place for celebrities, aspiring actors, technicians, directors and their fans. Careers are launched, reputations made or unmade, and lucky encounters occur. The world of cinema promises a glamourous life both on and off screen.
