Movie Haiku:Toback & Baldwin go to the 2012 Cannes Film Festival ostensibly to pitch a new feature kinda sorta updating LAST TANGO IN PARIS. Perhaps that is just a McGuffin, but what they do accomplish is a thoughtful meditation on movies & money with Cannes as the prism thru which that relationship in explored over time. Great interviews with Bertolucci, Coppola, Polanski, Scorsese, etc.
