First Glance: Linha De Passe – See It or Skip It?

Linha De Passe premiered at Cannes this year and actress Sandra Corveloni won Best Actress for her performance in the movie.

Linha De Passe premiered at Cannes this year and actress Sandra Corveloni won Best Actress for her performance in the movie. The film is set against the backdrop of Brazil in a state of crisis, and focuses on a family where four fatherless brothers try to find a way out of the city. Apart from the acting, the trailer really struck me for its cinematography and I can't wait to see more of it.

The drama is released in the UK on September 19 and is the fourth collaboration from co-directors Walter Salles (The Motorcycle Diaries) and Daniela Thomas (Paris, Je T'aime). What do you think though – will you go and see the film? Or will you skip it?

Lindsay Lohan at D&G Party

Lindsay Lohan attended the Dolce & Gabanna Cannes party over the weekend in a bum-skimming green dress. The mini dress features plenty of funky applique detail so she kept accessories minimal with simple diamond earrings and necklace. I can't help feeling that the dress is just slightly too short for her but what do you think?

The glamour, the parties, and all those premieres and press conferences are over for another year, as the Palme d'Or was given out at the award ceremony to mark the end of the Cannes Film Festival 2008. A French film called The Class got the Palme d'Or this year, and its young stars were full of smiles and excitement at their win, Benicio del Toro and Catherine Deneuve also received awards at the ceremony, and jurors Natalie Portman and Sean Penn and actor Robert De Niro were among those giving them out.

But before the awards there was one more premiere, this time for Synecdoche and a photocall with Philip Seymour Hoffman, Michelle Williams, Catherine Keener and Samantha Morton, as well as a fabulous Dior party hosted by Sharon Stone.

This weekend saw more Cannes activity, including a fabulous Dolce & Gabbana party that saw familiar and new celebs to the Film Festival walking the swirly carpet to be photographed. Lindsay Lohan had reporters buzzing after showing up wearing a sparkler on her engagement finger, Rose McGowan had to accessorise with her large plastercast after she broke her leg, and the host duo showed up with Cannes birthday girl Naomi "Don't call me a supermodel" Campbell.

Kate Hudson looked stunning in a white mini-dress and was apparently cosying up to her photographer-shy man Lance Armstrong all evening, Natalie Portman and her man Devendra Banhart also showed up, posing separately, but Devendra showed just how happy he was to be there by having a pre-party groove in front of photographers. Ah, love!

Michelle Williams has been busy at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival promoting her latest movie Synecdoche (see a few clips over at Buzz). She appeared at the photocall wearing a casual yet feminine outfit teaming feminine prints and pleats with a navy blue blazer. Later she changed in to something more glamorous appearing on the red carpet in a floor length tiered gown. Michelle has also made an appearance in a vintage style lace dress. Which look do you prefer?

2008 Cannes Film Festival: Trend Report

There has been a lot of blue on the red carpet at this year's Cannes Film Festival.
by

There has been a lot of blue on the red carpet at this year's Cannes Film Festival. Mainly dark navy blues but in many shapes and sizes. From the short layers and ruffles of Natalie Portman's dress to the long train of Kristin Scott-Thomas' gown. Navy blue has been big news this season and it continues in to the Autumn/Winter collections. Many have been excited for the return of the colour as it is so flattering on many skin types.
