Cannes Day Five: Stayin' Alive at 33,000 Feet
from Stories in Motion · host D & J
We open day five with John Travolta's directorial debut, a sixty-minute love letter to a TWA flight he took as an eight-year-old in 1962. It is slim, sincere, and completely inseparable from the ten-minute career montage that preceded it. We talk about what it means to be a movie star, his daughter Ella Bleu's scene-stealing turn, and why this might be the most charming nothing at Cannes this year. Day five dispatch from the Croisette.
