Cannes in Review

As if you needed another reason to be jealous of your Cinema Studies major–ing friends who jetted off to France this for the Cannes International Film Festival, this year proved to be one of those years where you just had to have been there. Street takes a look at some of the high(and low)lights of the festival’s controversy–charged 64th foray.

The film was a hit among those who valued Malick’s drifting, reflective narrative style and painterly direction of lush imagery.
