At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Blistering performances.

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.

All the Love You Cannes was a very entertaining documentary. I am a new Troma fan and a lover of independent movies, especially those in the horror genre. I recently attended Dragoncon in Atlanta,GA and met Lloyd Kaufman who was very nice.The Troma team use some original techniques in trying to get the Troma name out there in this doc. It seems that while Kaufman has a good head on his shoulders, some of his employees(particularly one obnoxious fellow) do not. The doc shows the struggle of a small studio fighting to get attention away from the majors.Particularly the theme of breaking the monopoly that the major studios have on not only the Cannes film festival but the business in general is always prevalent in the doc. If there's one educational thing about this film, it is that most "independent" movies are not that independent at all. A film that is truly independent will have to fight to be seen, and tactics out of the norm may have to be used.

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).....
