2008 Cannes Film Festival
Movie Preview: The Class
Those of you who have seen Slumdog Millionaire recently may have caught a preview for the French film that received the Palm D'or at last year's Cannes Film Festival: The Class.
The movie is based on an autobiographical novel by François Bégaudeau (who actually stars as the character based on himself, François Marin) and follows his experience as a literature teacher in an inner city middle school in Paris. Story aside, the movie looks gorgeous and is getting rave reviews from film critics across the board.
Movie Preview: Synecdoche, New York
Charlie Kaufman's directorial debut, Synecdoche, New York, has been generating positive buzz ever since it premiered at Cannes this year. Time Magazine calls it "A miracle movie," while Variety claims it is "a wildly ambitious and gravely serious contemplation of life. The picture exerts power and artistic mystery."
First Glance: Linha De Passe – See It or Skip It?
Linha De Passe premiered at Cannes this year and actress Sandra Corveloni won Best Actress for her performance in the movie. The film is set against the backdrop of Brazil in a state of crisis, and focuses on a family where four fatherless brothers try to find a way out of the city. Apart from the acting, the trailer really struck me for its cinematography and I can't wait to see more of it.
First Look: Angelina Jolie in Changeling
Clint Eastwood's period drama, Changeling (or The Exchange, depending on who you ask) premiered at Cannes and succeeded in impressing the critics, some of whom claim that Angelina Jolie may be looking at an Oscar nomination for her starring role. There's still no trailer for the film which is supposed to open in limited release October 24, but we do have a clip to check out.
The movie is set in the late-1920s and is based on true events.

Who Wore It Better? Missoni Sequined Vest
Ashley Olsen and Margherita Missoni are friends, so it's funny that both of them wore Missoni's sequined vest. I guess some friends do dress alike! Ashley first wore it at an amFAR event back in January, with barely any accessories.
Do You Dye Your Eyebrows To Match Your Hair?
Over the weekend at the Cannes Film Festival, French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld arrived at the Dolce and Gabbana party with thick, dark eyebrows that contrasted with her fair hair. It's obvious by her roots that she's not a natural blonde, and she isn't one to take a high-maintenance look anyway. But most colorists, while lifting a woman's base color, would lighten her brows as well to create uniformity.

Lindsay Lohan at D&G Party
Lindsay Lohan attended the Dolce & Gabanna Cannes party over the weekend in a bum-skimming green dress. The mini dress features plenty of funky applique detail so she kept accessories minimal with simple diamond earrings and necklace. I can't help feeling that the dress is just slightly too short for her but what do you think?
