For decades, legendary film producer Jeremy Thomas has driven from England to the Cannes Film Festival. This time, he's joined by acclaimed filmmaker Mark Cousins.
On their intimate, visual five-day road movie through rural France, they remember some of the most acclaimed and controversial films ever made: Bernardo Bertolucci's The Last Emperor (1987), which won nine Academy Awards for Thomas when he was still in his 30s, including Best Picture; David Cronenberg's Crash (1996) and its Cannes scandal; the masterpiece of sexual obsession, Nicolas Roeg's Bad Timing (1980). Thomas introduces us to his remarkable world of movie stars -- Marlon Brando, Jack Nicholson, David Bowie -- and daring international cinema, influenced by punk and counter-culture. The journey is intercut with acclaimed actors Tilda Swinton and Debra Winger, who give exclusive insights into the man and his work.
