But since this one's about New York's Chelsea Hotel and its rock 'n' roll aura, it seems natural that the ghosts of Janis Joplin and Sid Vicious turn up. http://www.ibtimes.com/data/articleimgs/54704-cannes-chelsea-on-the-rocks-press-conference.jpg http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20080525/ghosts-of-janis-sid-haunt-chelsea-hotel-film.htm http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20080525/ghosts-of-janis-sid-haunt-chelsea-hotel-film.htm Sun, 25 May 2008 04:50:39 EDT Established Hollywood stars and filmmakers such as Clint Eastwood and Angelina Jolie were competing against movies from acclaimed international directors for the top honors at the Cannes Film Festival on Sunday. http://www.ibtimes.com/data/articleimgs/54945-cannes-awards-ceremony-inside.jpg http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20080525/cannes-prepares-for-prizes-in-festival-finale.htm http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20080525/cannes-prepares-for-prizes-in-festival-finale.htm Sun, 25 May 2008 06:06:11 EDT Most documentaries stick with interviews of living people.

He'll never shy away from a contest, though, including the one at the world's most prestigious film showcase. http://www.ibtimes.com/data/articleimgs/54372-cannes-changeling-premiere.jpg http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20080524/eastwoods-changeling-goes-for-gold-at-cannes-festival.htm http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20080524/eastwoods-changeling-goes-for-gold-at-cannes-festival.htm Sat, 24 May 2008 11:42:18 EDT It seems fitting that Charlie Kaufman's directing debut, which offers enough enigmatic ideas to fry viewers' brains, should also come with a title that will twist their tongues. http://www.ibtimes.com/data/articleimgs/53624-cannes-synecdoche-new-york-photo-call.jpg http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20080523/malkovich-writer-kaufman-makes-directing-debut.htm http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20080523/malkovich-writer-kaufman-makes-directing-debut.htm Fri, 23 May 2008 10:05:01 EDT The Material Girl parted with a few personal possessions--a custom-made white guitar and the contents of her handbag--at a benefit to raise money for AIDS research. http://www.ibtimes.com/data/articleimgs/53556-cannes-amfar-benefit.jpg http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20080523/madonna-auctions-off-lip-gloss-at-aids-benefit.htm http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20080523/madonna-auctions-off-lip-gloss-at-aids-benefit.htm Fri, 23 May 2008 12:12:41 EDT With her biggest film break yet, a lead role in a Woody Allen flick, Rebecca Hall landed on one of the most-glamorous spots on Earth: the star-packed red carpet at a Cannes Film Festival premiere. http://www.ibtimes.com/data/articleimgs/53460-cannes-vicky-cristina-barcelona-premiere.jpg http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20080523/british-star-hall-lands-role-as-allens-vicky.htm http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20080523/british-star-hall-lands-role-as-allens-vicky.htm Fri, 23 May 2008 07:16:37 EDT Madonna says criticism of her adoption of a Malawian boy hurt so much, she compared it to giving birth. "It was painful, and it was a big struggle, and I didn't understand it," the 49-year-old singer told reporters at the Cannes Film Festival on Thursday, where her documentary, "I Am Because We Are," which shows poverty, AIDS and other diseases devastating Malawi's children, was being shown. http://www.ibtimes.com/data/articleimgs/53043-cannes-amfar-benefit-arrivals.jpg http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20080522/madonnas-documentary-on-malawi-shown-at-cannes.htm http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20080522/madonnas-documentary-on-malawi-shown-at-cannes.htm Thu, 22 May 2008 16:32:39 EDT Unless it is one of his "Ocean's Eleven" casino romps, Steven Soderbergh never makes things easy for an audience. With his epic film biography of Latin American revolutionary Che Guevara, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, Soderbergh defiantly has made the story he wanted to see, one that will prove a very tough sell to some audiences. http://www.ibtimes.com/data/articleimgs/52928-cannes-che-photo-call.jpg http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20080522/soderbergh-challenges-cannes-with-epic-che-tale.htm http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20080522/soderbergh-challenges-cannes-with-epic-che-tale.htm Thu, 22 May 2008 14:30:27 EDT You don't need to be a member of the Cannes Film Festival jury to have a say in what movies deserve awards.

His latest adventure, "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," earned a respectful _ though far from glowing _ reception Sunday at the Cannes Film Festival, avoiding the sort of thrashing the event's harsh critics gave to "The Da Vinci Code" two years ago. http://www.ibtimes.com/data/articleimgs/49049-aptopix-cannes-indiana-jones-photo-call.jpg http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20080518/indiana-jones-goes-before-cannes-critics.htm http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20080518/indiana-jones-goes-before-cannes-critics.htm Sun, 18 May 2008 14:08:01 EDT Mike Tyson considers it a miracle that he lived to tell his tale.
