Cannes got its own cliff-hanger ending on Saturday, the final day of the 78th film festival, when a power outage, apparently caused by deliberate sabotage, shut down the power grid serving the city and much of the surrounding region.

From 10:00 am on, the outage disrupted screenings, forced cafes and restaurants to close, or shift to cash-only payments, and even caused chaos on the streets as traffic lights winked off.

The blackout only caused minor disruption at the Palais, the festival headquarters, with generators kicking in to restore power. The press conference for Kelly Reichardt’s Mastermind, with the director and cast members Josh O’Connor and Paul Mescal, went ahead as planned at 10.15 am local time. In a statement, the festival said the Palais’ independent power supply meant that tonight’s closing ceremony would not be affected.

The blackout hit the city of Cannes and surrounding towns, depriving 160,000 households of power supply,...

Foul play is suspected in a massive power outage across the South of France on Saturday that has hit the final day of the Cannes Film Festival.

Local media is reporting that a fire at an electricity station outside the town of Tanneron overnight, followed by the downing of pylons close to the towns of Villeneuve-Loubet, Mougins and Cagnes-sur-Mer this morning had caused the electricity cuts which began at around 10 am local time (1 am Pt).

French radio network Franceinfo said local police and sources at the Ministry of Interior had informed it that foul play was suspected, with signs that the downed pylons had been sawn.

The incident is reminiscent of an arson attack on France’s national rail network on the eve of the Paris Olympics last July, when electrical and signal installations on high-speed lines running north, east and west out of the capital boxes were deliberately set...

Updated with power restoration at 6.49 am Pt… Power has been restored in Cannes following a five-and-half hour outage on Saturday which brought chaos to the town but did not impact the film festival’s main Le Palais des Festivals venue.

Local electricity network provider Rte announced earlier that some 160,000 households in the area were impacted by the outage which began around 10am local time (1am Pt). Deadline correspondents on the ground reported that power had started to return around 3.30pm (6.30am Pt).

The Cannes Film Festival had previously announced its closing ceremony this evening would go ahead as planned despite the massive power outage which cut electricity in Cannes and across the South of France region of Alpes-Maritimes.

All other scheduled festival events including press conferences for the Dardenne brothers’ Young Mothers and Martin Bourboulon’s 13 Days, 13 Nights also went ahead as scheduled.

“The Palais des Festivals has switched to an independent power supply,...

It may be the last day of the Cannes Film Festival’s Official Selection lineup, but there’s still plenty of action at the Palais. Josh O’Connor was in town this evening for the world premiere of Kelly Reichardt’s latest, The Mastermind, which received an 8-minute ovation and is the final movie in the Competition. It will be followed later tonight by the Midnight showing of Ethan Coen’s Honey Don’t!

Alana Haim (Licorice Pizza) also stars in The Mastermind. Set in a sedate corner of Massachusetts circa 1970, the story follows Jb Mooney (O’Connor), an unemployed carpenter turned amateur art thief, who plans his first big heist. When things go haywire, his life unravels.

Also in the cast are John Magaro, Hope Davis, Bill Camp, Gaby Hoffmann, Amanda Plummer, Eli Gelb, Cole Doman, Javion Allen, Matthew Maher and Rhenzy Feliz.

Mubi will distribute in select territories, retaining rights in North America,...

Jauntier than any of Kelly Reichardt’s previous work, “The Mastermind” packs an ironic punch. That the title need not be taken literally becomes clear right from the start, of course; that the film’s shaggy-dog tone belies something far-sadder and more allegorical takes a bit longer to set-in. Closing out the Cannes competition with a throwback crime caper set to a jazz-beat, “The Mastermind” also gives the minimalist filmmaker a new world to etch out in fine detail, sending us back to 1970 with a very millennial guide.

Jb Mooney (Josh O’Connor) is what we would call a failson. Married, with his own pair of precocious boys, this art-school-dropout turned-of-work-carpenter (in both instances more by than choice than misfortune) gets by on his family name and money. Not that either go particularly far – his dad (Bill Camp) is just a small-town judge in Framingham, Ma, while his wife (Alana Haim...

The Young and the Restless spoilers reveal that Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) and Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) have been kidnapped together.

Forced to play The Game, who is behind the distorted voice over the speaker? Could it actually be Michael Baldwin (Christian LeBlanc), who is going to extreme measures to end the decades-long feud between the two women? Keep reading and let’s discuss what could happen next with this storyline.

Phyllis Summers’ Disappearance

Fans know that Phyllis and Sharon both disappeared at the same time. Nobody believed they would be together since they hate one another so much.

However, there are clues adding up, especially after Phyllis and Sharon made phone calls to their loved ones.

The phone calls were meant to eliminate suspicion. The mysterious captor doesn’t want anyone looking for Phyllis and Sharon.

Sharon Newman’s Survival Skills

Sharon and Phyllis have no idea who their captor is.

The Responder is one of those rare cop dramas that cut to the quick, leaving you in a state of reflective, not entirely unpleasant, unease. It's entirely worth your time. No, it's not a novel concept -- a first responder on the emergency line drags himself from crisis to crisis (of varying scale), nor is it a radical reinvention of the tried and true. It's just a solid slab of TV entertainment that knows its material inside and out.

The hard-pressed police officer pushed to the brink of what could reasonably be expected of anyone -- let alone the average citizen who rarely, if ever, gets into adrenalized circumstances on a similar par -- is a character type that we've grown to love as a movie and TV-viewing audience. From the hapless careerists who come against the strictures of organized enforcement agencies to the trigger-happy officers who drag themselves and colleagues into terrible scenarios,...

The following contains spoilers for Mastermind: To Think Like a Killer, now streaming on Hulu. It also contains mention of sexual assault.

The world of true crime is bloated with documentaries -- many of which purport to be groundbreaking. Hulu's miniseries Mastermind: To Think Like a Killer is the rare production that lives up to the hype. In an era where nearly everyone talks about how they changed law enforcement or had the most shocking case, the story of Dr. Ann Burgess is actually revolutionary and truly will stun audiences.

If her name sounds familiar, that's likely because of the superlative Netflix series Mindhunter, which was based on the book by Burgess' FBI colleague John Douglas. The TV show had a fictionalized version of Burgess in the character of Dr. Wendy Carr, portrayed by Anna Torv. Mastermind will largely draw an audience of Mindhunter fans who want to know more about the real person,...

This interview contains a mention of sexual assault.

The Hulu limited series Mastermind: To Think Like a Killer is what fans of Mindhunter didn't even know they needed. While the Netflix show made viewers aware of Dr. Ann Burgess -- who was fictionalized as Dr. Wendy Carr, played by Anna Torv -- the Hulu project is a docuseries that focuses on Dr. Burgess, and puts her in front of the camera. It adds another perspective to an already compelling true crime story.

Ahead of the Mastermind: To Think Like a Killer premiere, Cbr spoke with Dr. Ann Burgess, as well as the TV series' director Abigail Fuller. Together, the two women discussed why Dr. Burgess' personal journey is important and what motivated her to finally step further into the public eye. Plus, find out why they wouldn't call this a strictly "true crime" show.

John Douglas has a very successful...

The three-part Hulu documentary series Mastermind: To Think Like a Killer could be described as part history lesson, part true crime documentary. At the center of it all is Dr. Ann Burgess, a psychiatric nurse-turned-fbi profiler who revolutionized the study of serial criminals. Burgess may not be a household name like some of the offenders she helped catch, but her impact on law enforcement was huge.

Directed by Abby Fuller, this documentary shines a light on Burgess’ pioneering career across the 1970s and 1980s. It covers key moments like her advice on the “Ski Mask Rapist” case and her work with Robert Ressler to establish the FBI’s profiling methods. Elite Fanning and Dakota Fanning are among the executive producers bringing Burgess’ story to the screen. We also hear directly from Burgess herself, who is now in her late 80s but still actively teaching.

Through a mix of interviews, archival footage,...

Most people who watch crime dramas or true crime shows on TV will be familiar with FBI's Behavioral Science Unit at Quantico and serial killer psychological profiling. Profiling, along with DNA analysis, has become the ubiquitous science magic of these programmes. No longer does a writer have to plot out an investigation. The detective just hands the crime scene over to the science guys and Shazam!, gun and badge in hand he heads off to catch the killer. Shazam! again, and there is no doubt in our minds that the true criminal is truly guilty. Real forensic science is hidden from the viewer by plot convenience and police propaganda. The documentary Mastermind: To Think Like A Killer shines a light into the Behavioral Science Unit and onto psychological profiling. It tells the story of someone that not many will be familiar with, the woman who was at its centre, Dr.
