CANNES — How should one react to the unwelcome news that Harvey Weinstein has been calling friends at the Cannes Film Festival, pulling strings and phoning in favors to get friends into parties and onto yachts?
TheWrap broke this story on Sunday, the same day that Kering’s Women in Motion, in partnership with the festival, bestowed a number of awards on leading women in film, including Universal’s Chief Content Officer Donna Langley, at its gala dinner. The dinner took place at a medieval castle on a cliff overlooking the harbor, with dramatic lights and good intentions and gowns and jewels and lots of media.
