A Cannes (sans kisses) to reawaken our romance with movies
Cannes Preview FILE - This May 7, 2018 file photo shows a view of the Palais des Festivals at the 71st international film festival, Cannes, southern France. This year's Cannes Film Festival will be held July 6-17 — two months later than its usual May perch. But in the past 16 months, Cannes’ Palais hasn’t been home to the movie frenzy it hosts annually. Earlier this year, it was turned into a mass-vaccination “Vaccinodrome.”On Tuesday, the Cannes Film Festival, delayed from May to July, will finally open its doors for its 74th and maybe most critical edition. (To mitigate crowds, the Cannes movie market was instead held in June.)
