Who would have thought! Prada suits and Yves Saint Laurent gowns are being unloaded from train wagons at Gare Du Cannes, Cannes railway station, usually frequented by the homeless and penniless “human wrecks” of the famous, cosmopolitan spa town.

The festival’s prestige has suffered a heavy blow…. due to the strikes in which the French airport unions participate, of cource!

The scene is very surreal, reminiscent of a Monty Python skit! Imagine ties, suits and gowns, arriving at the “proletarian” platform of the station and being picked up by muscular bodyguards dressed to the nines who load them in limousines that are parked outside the station.

Then the clothes are being carried to expensive hotels, located in the Promenade de la Croisette, where a suite costs from ten to fifteen thousand euros per night. Plus the champagne, the caviar, the salmon, the T-bone Steaks and of course the high class escorts!

3D “Kama Sutra”

India brought out the big guns for its premiere at the festival. The big, three -dimensional guns. Indian filmmaker Paul Rupesh, presented a Kama Sutra saga of epic proportions.
Every possible sexual position, including some you would never be able to imagine, perform or even think are included in this provocative “sex therapy session”. Starring one of the country’s hottest women in the role of the princess and a flirtatious prince. All this wrapped up in an … intellectual package. Dedicated to Vatsayana, the Hindu philosopher who wrote the Kama Sutra in the 3rd century.
