Kiss him deadly

By ROB NELSON  |  November 14, 2007

Does Kelly feel he was caught with his pants down at Cannes? “I was 31 at the time,” he says, “and Southland was my second film, running two hours and 43 minutes. It had all these actors who are associated with American popular culture — actors whom one could feel are not welcome on the red carpet at Cannes. There was a long list of things that counted against us, like a gigantic bull’s eye on our chest. I think we were destined to have critics come after us — which is what they did at Sundance, too, with Donnie Darko. I’m used to it now, and in a way, the pattern sort of works. We’ve been joking that we’re gonna take The Box to the Venice Film Festival just so we can have that one bomb too.”
