Wow who would have thought that the master Alain Resnais was still directing at 86.

Interesting names.. I wonder how Tarantino will do against the international scene.. but on another matter, how does one pronounce Cannes?

is it like

If you have an English (British) accent, then it's pronounced like the Star Trek character. If you have an American/Canadian accent, it's like the soup. The French pronounciation is similar to the soup as well, but with a shorter "a" sound. I always roll my eyes at North American journalists who pronounce it the British way to sound more foreign and exotic, the same way how people pronounce Ralph Lauren as "LOR-ENN" instead of like the girl's name. He's American, people -- no need for the fancy pronounciation!
