Miranda, Pinch's wife, who performed with the Damned on the Twisted Cabaret Tour is up for the Palm D'Or at Cannes Film Festival. Starring opposite Mathieu Amalric (Quantum of Solace, Diving Bell and the Butterfly, Munich) Amalric hand picked Miranda for the starring role after seeing her perform at one of her many burlesque residencies in Europe. The Palme d'Or is Europe's equivalent to the Oscars and stars are born and reaffirmed there every year. With Tournee being one of only sixteen films chosen for the coveted Palme d'or award, 2010 could easily blast another San Diegan into the stratosphere of Hollywood. This years competition will be judged by stars Benicio Del Toro, Kate Beckinsale and other luminaries. The head of the jury will be acclaimed director Tim Burton.

Synopsis:

Joachim, (Amalric) has been around the block a few times and his face tells a thousand stories. Traveling with a gaggle of beautiful American burlesque performers headed by Mimi Le Meaux (Colclasure) he attempts to make his comeback touring a fun and colorful new Burlesque variety show round the highways and byways of France. But as the tour rolls on, Joachim has to keep all his wits about him if he wants to be paid in full, keep his estranged wife and kids happy and keep a handle on the increasingly uncontrollable girls...

Cannes Film Festival runs from May 12th to the 23rd.
