A Rabbit's Foot #11 - Riviera

The 11th issue of A Rabbit’s Foot brings readers to the south of France, where we explore all things film, art and culture during the Cannes Film Festival.

Benicio Del Toro talks about The Phoenician Scheme and working with Wes Anderson ahead of his return to the Croisette, and we put the spotlight on Durga Chew-Bose’s adaptation of Riviera classic Bonjour Tristesse, starring Chloe Sévigny.

We share our favourite movies set in the South of France with a series of beautiful archive images and special essays. We set sail with Hollywood producer Sam Spiegel on his star-fuelled yacht and spend some time with disco legend, and Dalí’s muse Amanda Lear in Paris. There are also anecdotes and unseen photography from the great Derek Ridgers, a Cannes veteran.

Complimenting the theme are other stories in Albert Camus and Algeria and Cézanne’s obsession with painting a provençal mountain. There are also colourful artworks by the artist Michael McGregor and an investigation into the closing of Tetou, one of the Riviera’s greatest restaurants.

Once again, we’ve assembled the best writers and photographers under one place. The cover features photography by Helmut Newton — an image that is emblematic of life on the Riviera, and the glamour and vibrancy the issue embodies.
