From its simple beginnings in 1939 in a sleepy beach town in the south of France, the prestigious Cannes Film Festival has become the must-attend red carpet event of the year. Filmmaker Richard Schickel's fascinating documentary captures the glitz and glamour of the festival's incredible 60-year run with archival footage and unforgettable moments. Hollywood's biggest names including Clint Eastwood, Martin Scorsese, Sharon Stone and Harvey Weinstein talk about the politics, madness, and thrills of competing for one of the industry's highest honors - the coveted Palme d'Or - and what it's like to be at the most fabulous festival by the sea.

Cannes, 1999. Alice, an actress, wants to direct an indie picture. Kaz, a talkative (and maybe bogus) deal maker, promises $3 million if she'll use Millie, an aging French star. But, Rick, a big producer, needs Millie for a small part in a fall movie or he loses his star, Tom Hanks. Is Kaz for real? Can Rick sweet-talk Alice and sabotage Kaz to keep Millie from taking that deal? Millie consults with Victor, her ex, about which picture to make, Rick needs money, an ingenue named Blue is discovered, Kaz hits on Victor's new love, and Rick's factotum connects with Blue. Knives go in various backs. Wheels spin. Which deals - and pairings - will be consummated?

"Ein Jahrzehnt Werbung in der DDR. Diese Zusammenstellung der witzigsten Werbefilme aus dem real existierenden Sozialismus der 60er Jahre zeigt, wie (unfreiwillig) komisch die DDR war. Stilistisch versuchte sich die DDR-Werbung am internationalen Standard: Kurze Schnitte, knallige Farben und flotte Musik. Der Kommentar holpert noch etwas belehrend daher: man mußte seriös überreden. Der Kunde war noch König. Wenn dann die Produkte in Großaufnahme erscheinen, die noch 20 Jahre später, allem modischen Gezeter zum Trotz, hergestellt wurden, kann man sich eines Schmunzelns nicht erwehren."
