In Cannes, standing ovations stretch on and on — but they’re designed to

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:08:27 GMT

CANNES, France (AP) — The Cannes Film Festival is on, which means stopwatches are out.Nowhere are the length of standing ovations at high-wattage premieres more carefully recorded and parsed than in Cannes. Did a movie garner a triumphant eight-minute standing ovation? Or did the audience stand for a mere four or five minutes?How has such an unlikely metric come to reverberate around the world within minutes of a premiere? And why is everyone standing for so long?

No one needs a bathroom break?Less widely understood, though, is how the pageantry of Cannes shapes and distorts standing ovations. When audi...

Most of these are inexpensive generic drugs used for decades that serve as “the backbone of so many chemotherapy regimens,” said associate chief pharmacy officer Erin Fox, whose team at the university tracks drug shortages.The shortage in chemotherapy drugs is the worst it has been since 2011, she said. Overall drug shortages are the worst since 2014 for reasons that include curtailment of manufacturing and increased demand.Parikh said the chemotherapy dr...
