Snippet:
Controversies sparked during the Cannes Film Festival often outshine the films themselves. Take Woody Allen’s 2016 film “Café Society,” which starred Blake Lively. Few can remember how that film played, but many will likely recall the uproar caused by a joke made at Allen’s expense when he introduced the film (“It’s very nice that you’ve been shooting so many movies in Europe,” quipped comedian MC Laurent Lafitte.
