Breaking Baz @ Cannes: Mike Figgis Mourns Fred Roos, Details Fly-On-The-Wall Coppola Documentary ‘Megadoc’; Festival Party Talk Through The Night With Blanchett, Schrader & Oldman
Mike Figgis mourns Fred Ross and talks about making the Coppola documentary Megadoc during a conversation at the Cannes Film Festival.
He recalled how he and Roos would have “a regular Monday night conversation and tonight’s the night,” Figgis said as we conversed on the sidewalk late Monday outside Fred L ‘Ecailler’s restaurant, where Charles Finch was hosting A Rabbit’s Foot culture magazine dinner with Lanvin honoring Valeria Golino and Paul Schrader. Other guests included Slow Horses ‘ Gary Oldman, who stars in Paolo Sorrentino’s Parthenope which premieres in Cannes tonight; filmmaker Abel Ferrera; Cate Blanchett; producer Gaby Tana; and director Karim Aïnouz, who also has a film in the festival, called Motel Destiny. Figgis, who also made Stormy Monday and The Browning Version, a heartbreaking adaptation of Terence Rattigan’s play starring Albert Finney and Greta Scacchi, emphatically denied that Coppola had censored the documentary.
