A carpet-bombing at Cannes: Anupama Chopra writes in from the festival

Hindustan Times  

In 2018, when the Cannes Film Festival banned selfies on the famed red carpet, festival director Thierry Fremaux, who described the act as “grotesque and ridiculous,” said: “You don’t come to Cannes to be seen but to see.” The Indian contingent seems to have missed the memo. A slew of actors, creators, influencers and industrialists’ wives, fuelled by brands, social-media followings and the promise of publicity, arrived at the 76th edition for the primary purpose of walking the red carpet. One of my favourite visuals was of the 76-year-old Kangabam Tomba, the lead actor in Ishanou, walking the red carpet with filmmaker Shivendra Singh Dungarpur, founder-director of the Film Heritage Foundation, which restored the film. Incredibly, this is Sharma’s second time at Cannes with Ishanou; the film was selected in the Un Certain Regard section in 1991.
