Cannes Dims Its Lights: Arson Suspected in Power Outage Scandal
By Poppy Posh, Published 6 hours ago
Mon dieu! The Cannes Film Festival, a sacred ground where the elite tread with their couture and critiques, was almost plunged into a darkness more profound than that of a French existentialist's soul.
Authorities now whisper the word "arson" with the same disdain one reserves for last season's fashion. Imagine, someone dared to challenge the sanctity of this cinematic shrine with a mere fire? How utterly gauche.
The stars, robbed of their spotlight, must have felt like mere mortals, their glow extinguished by an act so pedestrian. One can only hope the perpetrator is found, not for justice, but to educate them on the proper use of fire-in a well-lit, tastefully designed room, perhaps.
The festival's final day, now shrouded in a scandal that would make even the most avant-garde filmmaker blush, is a reminder that in the world of glamour, even the shadows have their moments. Here's to hoping next year's lights shine brighter, or at least, are better guarded.
