Cannes-bound in a few hours

I should be boarding at 9pm Eastern Standard Time tonight ay Montreal's Trudeau airport for London's Heathrow which, following an abysmal 7 hour layover where I will more than likely feast on fish and chips, will land me in Nice where I will take a shuttle to Cannes for the film festival. I will be missing Day one, which kinda irks me considering I'll be missing the newest Woody Allen Cafe Society and the newest Cristi Puiu Sieranevada, but will hopefully be plenty rested to seize day two. Reports, interviews, coverage, the whole megilah to follow ......
