Cannes Festival Mishap Sparks Mini Riot at Pedro Almodóvar Event.

Dozens of Cannes Film Festival attendees were turned away from a screening of Pedro Almodóvar's short film Strange Way of Life, despite possessing tickets and waiting in line for over an hour in pouring rain. The theater was reportedly at capacity, but the situation should not have been possible given the digital booking system employed by the festival. No clear explanation or remedy was provided to the patrons, who were left aggrieved and concerned about receiving a "strike" for missing a screening they had RSVP'd to attend.
