The Cannes Diaries – A Weekend of Rain and Revelry

 
It’s been a cold, wet weekend in Cannes – in other words, perfect movie-watching weather.

The croisette has been dotted with umbrellas, as people make their way to catch one screening or another. I even saw a woman wear a bathrobe over her dress right up until the moment she walked onto the red carpet, and then she took it off and handed it to the assistant next to her.  La pluie!
