The 60th Cannes Film Festival, which opened on Wednesday. But for the rest of the world, the festival is all about glam, glitz and photo opps. Yes, it's supposed to be about film. Yet it's also the world's most glamorous film event and the paparazzi are out in droves, ready to snap any mildly celebrated woman, or even someone as unseemly as Sacha Baron Cohen, on the beach in a thong. (Who could forget his Borat promo last year?)

The red carpets of New York, Paris, London and even the Academy Awards pale into insignificance when compared with the regalia and glamour of Cannes on the French Riviera, where the Palais colossus (where all the main events are held) boasts a magnificent staircase complete with military guard.

In comparison, it's surprising how drab a Los Angeles premiere can be, so when Americans are invited to Europe to prove their cinematic worth, they are often determined to make their over-the-top mark.
