Helmers Laurent Cantet, Gaspar Noe, Pablo Trapero, Elia Suleiman, Julio Medem, Cuba's Juan Carlos Tabio and Benicio del Toro are joining perhaps one of the rare omnibus projects worth mentioning. Finally a short film collage that is a bit more organic, 7 Days in Havana is said to be an inside "view of Cuba, introducing audiences to an eclectic young Havana and its music scene."
Noe’s subjective camera spends much of the first half in the hands of Oscar, while we watch the world through his eyes, and the second half of the film overhead, racing through hundreds of rooms with masked cuts. It lends an incomparable theatricality to the experience.
On this virtual tour we begin with the Palais - draped in dark blue with one side of the wall dedicated to Juliette Binoche - I actually think they streamlined the number of times we see her face on the Croisette, and the other classy move is found on the other side of the Palais (on the Théâtre Debussy steps) I like how the honored all the filmmakers that have been invited this year -- imagine being a new director and your entourage are cinema's great names.
