With the passing of over a dozen days, the 51st Cannes Film Festival was finally about to reach its last moments. Although "Mulholland Drive", the work of the Miracle Director, was the major focus that ran through the entire festival, so much so that attendees were more or less obliged to mention it, there were many other fine films and many fine actors and directors drawing the eye.
For instance, the Italian director Roberto Benigni's self-written, directed, and starred film "Life is Beautiful" received considerable acclaim, or that actress from China, brimming with voluptuous beauty, whose large billboard photo hung conspicuously under the palm trees at the beach. Likewise, that Chinese director who had yet to create the 'Steamed Bun Murder Case' was displaying the last of his brilliance at Cannes.
