He could be any young man in a tuxedo, screening ticket in hand, hurtling down the Rue d’Antibes to the night’s big premiere at the Palais. Melchior Derouet, who starred opposite Natalie Portman in 2006’s Paris je t’aime, navigates Cannes’ jostling crowds, barricades and stern French police faster and fearlessly than most. So most people do a double take when they notice Derouet is carrying a white cane as he races pell-mell toward the Croisette to get in line on the red carpet for the world premiere of Gus van Sant’s The Sea of Trees.
