| Ryan Gosling debut fails to light Cannes critics' fire | |  By Alexandria Sage CANNES France (Reuters) - Hollywood actor Ryan Gosling burned up the screen at the Cannes film festival with his directorial debut on Tuesday, but critics' reaction was a damp squib. Gosling's "Lost River", which was to premiere at Cannes on Tuesday night, includes enough images of blazing buildings to satisfy the most ardent pyromaniac. Tim Robey of Britain's Daily Telegraph called the film - set in a near-deserted community pockmarked by scorched houses - a "crapocalypse." Gosling's movie, 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 Hollywood heartthrob has been a frequent visitor to Cannes as an actor, most recently accompanying two Nicolas Winding Refn films - the bloody slasher set in Bangkok, "Only God Forbids", and pulp thriller "Drive".
