I know I promised a Page to Screen column on “The Road” today, but once in a blue moon, promises have to be broken. The start of the Cannes festival has ushered in a wealth of distractions, and as much as it slips my mind some days, I have a life away from my laptop too. I am but one man.

So I must this once postpone the piece until tomorrow — but rest assured that Tuesdays will remain Page to Screen days from next week.
