Cannes Ingenue: Opening Night
- by Raphaela Neihausen, May 16, 2009
It has been an absolute whirlwind two days ever since I landed 48 hours ago. My head is spinning from all the movies, parties, and blue magic of the Mediterranean! Below are some fun snapshots from the Opening Night Party for the March du Film, held at the Majestic Beach. More entries to follow as soon as I get a bit more time!
