"It's made from my point of view," said Keith Allen as he
defended his film about Princess Diana's death, Unlawful Killing. "It's
what the French call being an auteur."
Every so often a little invented scandal blows into Cannes; a harmless, or not so harmless, flurry of carefully created media noise for a film that, while nothing to do with the festival's official programme, uses Cannes to lever in credibility by association.
So it was with this new film by Allen, an actor who once appeared in Shallow Grave. It is being touted as the film you will never see in Britain – lawyers have demanded 87 cuts before it can be certificated. Some may say: lucky Britain.
When Allen uttered his "auteur" line there were titters in the grand salon of the Carlton Hotel in Cannes, where the press had been assembled to hear details of what Allen believes is an establishment cover-up of the true import of the inquest into the deaths of Diana, Princess of Wales and Dodi Fayed. He also described the film as "forensic" and "not sensational" – perhaps forgetting that it contains an interview in which psychologist Oliver James opines that Prince Philip is a "psychopath".
And then there is the business of the film's financing. Mohamed Al Fayed, it transpired, was its sole but unacknowledged backer, to the tune of £2.5m. He is also the film's mainstay, his well-publicised views on the royal family rehearsed at length. "I don't know at what point in the film I would have told the audience it was financed by Mohamed Al Fayed," said Allen. "It would have interrupted the flow of the film. A lot of films coming out of America are financed by the mafia – but they don't acknowledge that."
The film, which also includes interviews with a well-nigh incoherent Tony Curtis as well as Piers Morgan and Kitty Kelley, aims to show the establishment conspired to "talk to each other and square their stories" about Dodi and Diana. The collusion of British journalists was explained by the notion that they "answer to editors who answer to proprietors who all want knighthoods". (There was also a genuinely funny moment reconstructing an episode in which poor Nicholas Witchell, the BBC royal correspondent, apparently dropped off while watching the inquest proceedings.)
Other key evidence for this conspiracy included the fact that QCs swear allegiance to the crown, ergo cannot be impartial on the royal family (presumably with the exception of Michael Mansfield, Fayed's lawyer, who was interviewed for the film). And the royal family themselves? "Gangsters in tiaras", we were told.
The most arresting, and unintentionally comic, passage came at the end of the film, when Fayed was shown making a large but rather unsuccessful bonfire in his Surrey garden using the vast "by royal appointment" crests that once adorned the facade of Harrods. He is, confirmed his spokesman Conor Nolan, "delighted with the film".

One of the more unlikely partnerships at this year's Cannes Film
Festival arrives when actor Keith Allen and former Harrods boss Mohamed
Al Fayed team up to publicise a documentary about the death of Princess
Diana.
Allen, the father of pop star Lily Allen, said his film, which is called Unlawful Killing, is the "inquest of the inquest" into Diana's death in a car crash in Paris in 1997.
He said: "Screening this film in Cannes for the world's media will be both exhilarating and terrifying for me."
Allen continued: "As far back as 2004, I had been intrigued by Mohamed Al Fayed's unrelenting determination to seek answers to the questions surrounding the death of his son, Dodi, and Princess Diana.
"By going 'undercover' at the inquest, I hoped to reconcile some of my own suspicions too, but what I experienced was horrifying. This film is, in short, the inquest of the inquest."
The film, which is not entered into any of the official selections at this year's festival, features contributions from the late Tony Curtis, American shock jock Howard Stern and Mr Al Fayed.
The festival runs until May 22.

圣詹姆士宫也拒绝发表任何评论，不过这部电影发言人说，在电影中只会展出戴安娜被发表过的照片，没有发表过的照片不会公布，
Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the filmmakers, said: "The picture has been published in full before, in many parts of the world. We acquired the image from an Italian magazine, which had already published it in full. It is also widely available on the web.
"We are therefore not publishing anything that the rest of the world has not already seen elsewhere."
