ROUGH CUT - NO REPORTER NARRATION

STORY: Actor Ryan Gosling walked the Cannes red carpet on Tuesday (May 20) for the launch of his movie, and directorial debut, 'Lost River'. Gosling's film, which he also wrote, is one of 19 to compete in the "Un Certain Regard" category for emerging directors at the prestigious festival on the French Riviera. The film has received some criticism with early comments posted on Twitter following an advance press screening overwhelmingly caustic. However, the star took proudly to the red carpet and met fans and signed autographs before doing the official photocall on the world-famous steps.
