The Truman Show<\/a> is a 1990s Hollywood movie about a man who lives in a bubble, cut off from the world. As played by Jim Carrey, Truman Burbank \u2013 surrounded by actors, his every move dogged by cameras \u2013 stares at a stage set and believes that it\u2019s real. In the film\u2019s final scene he climbs the stairs, finds a door and prepares to escape his gilded cage.<\/p>

That keynote image \u2013 Truman\u2019s ascent against a painted sky \u2013 is now\u00a0the official poster<\/a>\u00a0for the forthcoming\u00a0Cannes film festival<\/a>, soon to be plastered on programmes, Blu-Tacked in shop windows and rigged like a godhead across the concrete Palais. And while we should be wary of judging an event by its cover, the choice of image feels apt. The organisers picked it, they say, because it \u201crepresents a poetic celebration of the quest for expression and freedom\u201d. Others may read it as a self-owning comment on the festival as a whole.<\/p>

Cannes: ‘Final Cut’ apre il Festival<\/a><\/p>

ANSA<\/a> – Come da tradizione tutti i fari accesi sulla Croisette nella giornata inaugurale del Festival di Cannes saranno puntati oggi – alle sette della sera – sull’unico, autentico evento della giornata: la ormai celebre “mont\u00e9e des marches”, ovvero l’ascesa all’empireo cinematografico in passerella per fotografi, fans, curiosi. Per l’ultima volta quest’anno sar\u00e0 la “coppia regina” composta dal Presidente Pierre Lescure e dal direttore Thierry Fremaux ad accogliere ospiti d’onore, giurati, volti noti dello star system e i protagonisti del film d’apertura.<\/p>

Un Festival de Cannes entre pand\u00e9mie et guerre<\/a><\/p>

Le Devoir <\/a>– De Paris, se rendre \u00e0 Cannes en train tenait lundi de la mission impossible. Un convoi bloqu\u00e9 \u00e0 Toulon durant de longues heures pour cause d\u2019avaries non \u00e9lucid\u00e9es. Des voix d\u2019employ\u00e9s nous implorant de surveiller nos bagages, car des pickpockets commen\u00e7aient \u00e0 voler des valises. Un Uber attrap\u00e9 en trio pour se rendre \u00e0 bon port\u00a0: 90 kilom\u00e8tres sur le chemin c\u00f4tier. Hardi, les braves\u00a0! Cannes se m\u00e9rite.<\/p>

\"\"\/<\/figure>

\u00c0 l\u2019arriv\u00e9e, la Croisette s\u2019agitait en cette veille d\u2019ouverture. L\u2019affiche hommage \u00e0\u00a0The Truman Show<\/em>\u00a0(pas tr\u00e8s r\u00e9ussie) se d\u00e9multipliait au fronton du Palais, bleu ciel pour mieux se mirer dans un firmament radieux. Et le bourdonnement cannois circulait d\u00e9j\u00e0 dans les rues, ce m\u00e9lange bab\u00e9lien de fran\u00e7ais, d\u2019anglais, d\u2019italien, d\u2019allemand, interrompu par les klaxons des chauffeurs grognant contre les embouteillages. La guerre semblait bien loin.<\/p>
