Any day including Pedro Almodovar and Deepika Paudkone must be a good day. I sat with Deepika a few hours before leaving for the airport and his return to Mumbai and Chhapaak. His red carpet style caused a sensation with Vogue USA and Variety gave him his approval. "Either you come here with a movie," she says, "or you kill the red carpet." Or, as Variety says, you're going big or you're going home. Deepika also added that, now that Cannes was over, she was already returning to the character of Lakshmi, the victim of the acid attack that she plays in Chhapaak. When I asked her why she does not bring Ranveer here (it seems to be tailor-made for the red carpets), she said he'd do better at the Met Gala. In Cannes, she would surpbad it!
Pain and Glory is the 21st film of Almodovar. This semi-autobiographical film is a rumination about cinema, love, relationships, pain and the pbadage of time without mercy. The wonderful Antonio Banderas plays the filmmaker Salvador Mallo who has not played for a long time. The film oscillates between personal memories of her childhood and those of today, when Salva is struggling with depression, back pain, a new addiction for heroine and loneliness. Pain and Glory is sweet and sour. It is painful but not without hope. At one point, I found myself heartbreaking. It's also a beautiful show with lush colors and fluid transitions between memories, dreams and fantasies.

Another wonderful film I took is Michael Covino's The Climb, a comedy for one-of-a-kind pals. It starts with two friends cycling – one gets married, the other admits to having slept with his fiancee and begins a journey that goes through years through weddings, funerals, festivals and kids. The Climb has great performances, an inventive writing that will make you laugh out loud and a dazzling camera work. In fact, I think that a producer should buy the rights to remake because, with a little adjustment, it would make a solid Hindi movie!

I've also participated in Rocketman Junket today. The film based on the life of Elton John was applauded in Cannes. I spoke with Taron Egerton, who plays Elton John, director Dexter Fletcher and actor Bryce Dallas Howard, who plays Elton's mother. At the end of the interview, Dexter told me that he had been watching Kal Ho Na Ho in Delhi years ago. Dexter has finished Bohemian Rhapsody and has now put his singular vision into Rocketman – the song sequences (one with an Indian twist) are spectacular!
I hope that tomorrow will be warmer. Today, everyone was hanging out in the cold and the rain. On the red carpet though, the weather was out of place. Dazzled women as always.
