Roger Ebert was planning to attend Cannes 2008 when a broken hip derailed that plan, but his wife, Chaz Hammelsmith Ebert, went anyway, and filed this blog in the form of "a letter to Roger."
Roger Ebert was the film critic of the Chicago Sun-Times from 1967 until his death in 2013. In 1975, he won the Pulitzer Prize for distinguished criticism.
