Cannes Film Festival Round Two!

And one more time, we were able to get invitations to a showing at the film festival!

This time we went to watch an American film, named Foxcatcher, based on a true story about an olympic wrestling champion.  Although there were parts that were a little long, it was overall a good movie and the actors did very well. So....here we are...walking up the stairs again ^_^

A little rushed this time, didn't have a chance to take a better picture
Smile ^_^

Look at that big screen!
 At the end of the film, people kept on clapping and cheering the director and the cast. We were in the same room as Steve Carell, Channing Tatum and Mark Ruffalo! How cool is that??

The actors live on the big screen
They're sitting right there!!
And I realized the other day that I haven't posted a picture of our tree in a while, but look how much it has grown!
As tall as Germain now!

Cannes Film Festival

So what did I do this past week?

I walked the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival and attending a showing in the grand theatre.....

=P

The Cannes Film Festival started this past week and through a friend of Germain's parents, we were able to get tickets to the showing of "Mr. Turner" (a British film) for the main showing at 7pm on Thursday night. Although the film itself was not extremely exciting, the experience itself was worth it.

Since it was a night showing, dress code was/is very strict. Being a black tie event, men have to come in with bow ties and women in evening gowns. My only fancy long dress was my red chinese dress, so that's what I wore....but as usual, based on what some other women were wearing, they seem to be a lot more lenient for women. Still, many people dressed up quite fancy.

Selfie!
Not particularly a fan, but LOOK it's Blake Lively!
