“Another hour and I will throw everything away,” Laurent Abocrat, the owner of the Jamin restaurant at the Central Can, told AFP that the outage spread to its fifth hour.
Speaking as a customer, he pleaded to pay with a check at the end of the lunch service, said Abocrat said that his fridge was closed since the onset of the cut at around 10:00 pm (0800 GMT).
Inside the nearby festival headquarters, the workers were preparing a red carpet for the closing ceremony, where the French actor Juliet Binoche and his jury handed over the awards, including Palme D’Or.
According to the analysis of the screen magazine, the contenders for the best-review include the “It’s Just a Accident” by Iranian director Jafar Panahi and the study of disappointment in the “two prosecutors” of Sergei Lajnitsa, director of Ukrainian.
But the cinema Bible variety predicted a winning story about a quietly fragmented family starring Norwegian director Jochim Trear’s “Sentimenial Value”, starring Elle Fanning.
It received a 19 -minute standing ovation after its premiere on Thursday.
The cause of power outage has not been announced, but police sources told AFP that it was a fire, perhaps arson attack, on an electric substation.
