While Uber-ing over to Cannes La Bocca at 8 am in order to catch an 8:45 am Cineum IMAX screening of Laszlo Nemes’ Moulin, I was reminded what a costly, time-consuming drag this option is. Plus the wifi is anemic once you’re there — all but worthless inside the theatres.
The second half of Moulin, which is mainly about Klaus Barbie’s interrogation and torture of French resistance martyr Jean Moulin, conveys a dungeon-like horror vibe, and as I was walking through the Cineum plex after the screening I still felt the malevolent dungeon atmosphere — the somber medieval interior literally feels like a house of horrors.
And then came the horrific bus ride back to Cannes…took forever, packed in like sardines, the bus stopping and lurching. Perhaps not a horrible experience, but certainly a grim one.
