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.

I was at the Cannes film festival in 2003, I was making a documentary myslef but unfortunatly, after a drinking binge, some low life broke into our appartment, whilst we slept, and stole my Camera, along with all my footage. I was gutted and after being granted only temporary accreditation, 3 days, I soon realized that I was at the most famous film festival in the world and I could not get in to see any films.However one day we investigated the film market, where I happend upon the troma stall, with severed heads dangling form the cielling and a short jewish man shouting to a crowd of people to meet tomorow for the annual Troma march, it was Lloyd Kaufman, I recognized him because a friend of mine is a Troma fan, but I was not.However he was the only guy there who had time for us, we explained the robbery and the nightmare we were having, he went out back and came back with "all the love you Cannes" on DVD. He gave it to me for free and said this is what I made.After watching it, and being at the festival myself, I can tell you that this is honest and real. You can see the frustrations of being a small time film company battling against the big guys, like warner bros. You can see the troma team attacking themselves and it feels like the whole thing will fall appart, but you also feel that next year they will be back again to fight on.All the love you Cannes is funny ,informative, and very dramatic at times. Its rough around the edges but at least its honest, which is hard to come by. Ive got my tickets for Cannes 2004 (round 2) hope to see Troma there too.

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!
