CANNES, July 7 The Cannes film festival opened Tuesday and quickly rediscovered its heady mix of glamour, politics and controversy, with the added shock of stars kissing without masks.
The world’s biggest film festival fell victim to the pandemic in 2020, and this year was still subject to social distancing rules.
While stars were allowed to walk the red carpet without masks, there was a strict no-kissing rule, but this was flaunted almost immediately as they started strutting up Cannes’ fabled staircase to the festival palace.
