Edward Norton: I wrote Wes a letter about Rushmore and that’s how we met

Against the glam and flashing bulbs of Cannes, Edward Norton strolls up to the table at the private beach bar almost unnoticed. With a characteristically laid back air, and dressed like it’s casual Friday at an accountancy firm, he seems fully aware of this apparent disparity. ‘It gets a little manic, and that’s never my favourite thing. But if you strip away the strange mania that’s developed, the tradition of Cannes is still very routed in a celebration of global cinema, it’s a really compelling spectrum of all over the world.’
