Bonjour, and welcome to Rotten Tomatoes' coverage of the 2007 Cannes Film Festival. Cannes is probably the best-known film festival in the world; since its inception in 1939, the event has been a draw for the biggest stars and the finest filmmakers in the realm of cinema. Cannes has been a jumping off-point for some of the medium's landmark pictures: " The Third Man," " La Dolce Vita," " Taxi Driver," " Apocalypse Now," and " Pulp Fiction" all won the Palme d'Or, given to the festival's best film.

During our stay at the festival, we'll be bringing you reviews of the biggest films, news items, and images from Cannes, the French seaside resort town that is a Mecca for cinephiles.
