Editorial Note
I cannot promise everything to do with Cannes is here; there’s a lot of Cannes news.

Did you know Diego was at the Cannes festival this year?
Well, in case you didn’t know, he’s there presenting Abel as an out-of-competition film. An AP article is doing the rounds at the moment, entitled New dad Diego Luna at Cannes with comedy about fathers, his 1st feature film, written by Jenny Barchfield for the Associated Press (AP). In case you missed the article, it can be found at
Fandango, the
Stamford Advocate, the
Rapid City Journal, the
Winnepeg Free Press,
Medicine Hat News, the
Brandon Sun,
ABC 7 News,
CBC News, the
AP, the
Mercury News and the
Seattle Times.
A quick quote from the article:
"Those fathers miss an incredible journey: making decisions about what your kid eats, what kind of games he plays."
"Even things like changing diapers - my favorite thing," he joked.

A small profile of Abel can be found at indieWIRE and some photos can be found of Diego (plus some with the Abel cast) at:

Sharon Waxman, for the Wrap, had a chat with Diego! From the article:
"We're pushing kids to be adults before they should.
They have to deal with death, the economy, crisis, divorce... We're ok with fathers not being there."
Before leaving the Wrap coverage, below are two videos of Sharon’s interview with Diego.
