French director Claude Lelouch poses upo

Cannes, FRANCE: French director Claude Lelouch poses upon arriving at the Festival Palace to attend the opening ceremony of the 59th edition of the International Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, Southern France, 17 May 2006. The Cannes film festival, the world's top showcase for cinema, opened its doors 17 May under the shadow of the Hollywood juggernaut that is "The Da Vinci Code". That blockbuster, which opens around the globe this week, provided a rocky start to the 12-day event, attracting big-name talent in the form of the film's stars Tom Hanks and Audrey Tautou -- but also scathing reviews calling its adaptation of the bestselling novel lifeless.
