Empty Orchestra 5/19/16

Today I decided to watch all of the films I've been meaning to see during the festival but couldn't because everyone hates me and doesn't want to give me a premiere ticket. The first film I saw was Loving. This film was very well done, but not my favorite. It had a great story and a great message, but I didn't feel like the actors really loved each other. But still a very good film. After that film I ran to The Dancer, and waited in line for much longer than I should have. However, it was COMPLETELY worth it. I have been meaning to watch this film, even before the festival started. I have studied dance history for a while, so getting to watch a movie about the infamous dress and Isadora Duncan was absolutely amazing. The story was great, the dance was stunning, everything was just beautiful. I am very happy I finally got to see that!

After that film I walked around aimlessly calling my boyfriend.  Wifi is not easy to find, so when you do find it, you have to use every second of it to call Josh. I ran to the Red Turtle to, once again, stand in line way longer than I needed to. Red Turtle was a very interesting movie. I can't say I fully understood it, but the story was still very interesting. After being very confused for about 80 minutes, I went to the American Pavilion. There seemed to be some sort of screaming fest that people were calling "karaoke."  So that was "fun" as they described it. Not soon after, we headed over to the taxis and decided to call it a night. So overall today was pretty busy. I don't know if I would see those 2 films again, but I still had a great time as always in Cannes.
