ALL THE LOVE YOU CANNES! is a follow up to the equally entertaining Troma documentary APOCALYPSE SOON, which explored the making of CITIZEN TOXIE. This is a sequel of sorts as it follows an uninvited Lloyd Kaufman and his team to Cannes where they attempt to drum up publicity for their film and studio and sell the rights where they can. Basically you get a bunch of naked, screaming, blood-drenched cult movie veterans and fans marching around and kicking up a storm among the penguin-suited honchos attending the famous festival. It's funny stuff, featuring celebrity cameos and Sgt. Kabukiman, so expect endless jokes, surreal situations, comic interplay, and Kaufman shooting the breeze.

After volunteering for Troma at the Cannes film festival, I can now fully appreciate how difficult it is to make your voice heard at a film festival such as Cannes. The fact that Troma is relentless and shows up every year and makes every attempt possible to disrupt the goings on is admirable. It is certainly hard work, and by the end everyone is tired and frustrated, but Troma is persistent. This documentary is brutally honest, and is absolutely wonderful. The volunteers are enthusiastic, which is necessary. The fact that the volunteers are not paid, and must pay for their own flights and food shows that they themselves are doing it because they love Troma. How many major companies have that sort of fan base? True, they harass everyone and cause tons of trouble, but they are doing it for something they truly love. Troma gets noticed because of the volunteers. By having people pay attention to Troma, more attention is paid to independent cinema. Down with Hollywood! The truth is, you may not like Troma, but you will never forget Troma.

This film was a true test of endurance...I was almost tempted to walk out of the theatre on many occasion as the "threatrics of Doug & Gang" can be a tad overbearing...A redefinition of artistry is in order after witnessing TROMA pictures' marketing efforts...But then one gradually understand the theme of this thrashy docu, and must admit its pretty lofty, "that of the struggles indie film makers have to go through to make themselves heard & seen, in our oppressing times of monopolistic movie cartels."The levels of desperation those sorry bunch of people descend to, is afterwhile(after the desensitisation to their horrid antics),....sad.In summary, Loved that dog, hated Doug's guts, and sympathies to everyone working for Carlton Hotel. Most importantly, Scott should quit his thankless job;). Then again, the docu is so manipulative, don't be surprised if everything from start go is "staged"...An unforgettable experience(not necessary a good one).....

Known for what must be the cheapest and cheesiest of the indie film world, Troma films takes on Cannes with gallons of fake blood, the Tronettes, and numerous hijinks by an uncontrollable group of volunteer Troma fans, costumed, naked, and did I mention covered with blood? The most ultrazany documentary ever made? Well its on the list anyway. Whileany publicity is good publicity, the low budget Troma films must wonder what this will do to their reputation. And I think they're thinking, woohoo!
