5.0 out of 5 stars Much needed guide, January 30, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Cannes: A Festival Virgin's Guide (4th Edition) (Paperback)

I was a "festival virgin" at last year's event and this book was a life-saver. Cannes is expensive, but if you know where to go and what to avoid, it can be a much more enjoyable experience. The insight into a rather confusing festival structure was also incredibly useful. Lonely Planet for filmmakers!
