Croque Croisette: Limited Binoche, Salt in Our Eyes, Gaspar Noe Poses as Cover Boy
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.
