DeNiro to chair the ‘mean streets’ of the French Riviera
Bust out your best auteur-ial New Wave style: The Cannes Film Festival, now in its 64thyear, hits the Eden Roc shores May 11th, running through May 22nd.
Per usual, everyone who’s anyone, and everyone who wants to be someone, will be strutting the red carpets and hitting the party circuit, from St. Tropez to little-old Cannes itself.
The rooms go as fast as one of those little sports cars with the shoulder ornament in the shotgun, and the driver also wearing an Hermes scarf with Mastroianni shades, natch.

Maybe we’ll all learn…
