I don't mean to be "that guy" but it's utterly surreal to see my friend David's name on the Un Certain Regard list. I'm so excited for him. If any of you can find it, please track down his first feature La Vida Después.

Re: Cannes 2015
Seems like a somewhat subdued main slate, with Hou and Jia being the artistic heavyweights, along with a lot of unknown quantities (in terms of the quality of the film, not the form of the director, most of whom are very usual suspects). At this point, I have no idea whether a new Van Sant or Kore-eda is something to get excited about, since their output has been so mixed. And even the prospect of career-best work by Audiard, Garrone, Sorrentino and Moretti doesn't excite me very much (hey, is this the strongest showing of Italian directors at Cannes in quite a while?) Todd Haynes taking on Patricia Highsmith sounds like it could be worthwhile, though.

The Moretti opened in Italy last weekend. It has garnered excellent reviews.
Apparently Gasper Noe was offered a slot in the Midnight section but declined.

Re: Cannes 2015
Wonder if Johnnie To's office musical (now called Office, which is much less misleading than the old Design for Living title but also a million times blander) will be one of the added titles. It comes out in China in June and skipped the the Hong Kong International Film Festival, which would've been a natural forum for it given that they held a special tribute to its star/writer Sylvia Chang. Perhaps it's Cannes' neglect of To's non-crime films striking again, or maybe they just didn't want two films called Office in the lineup and To lost the coin toss. And where's the new Apichatpong, which evidently wrapped last year and was supposedly a sure thing according to various reports? Also downright shocked (though much less put out) that Kawase isn't in the lineup. Maybe they're still being edited and the selection committee will see them later.

As a self-confessed Italian cinema fan, it looks a pretty sweet line up to me.

Re: Cannes 2015
Fremaux talks to Variety about the lineup. Not very interesting, but he confirms that Desplechin's new film was rejected ("I liked the film very much, but we have too many French films and too few slots"), is cagey on Noe's Love ("I'm pushing him to show me what he's got," which I suspect means they rejected an earlier cut but Noe is still working on it), and says The Assassin isn't actually finished (which contradicts something I was told last month by a person associated with the production, but seems believable given that it wrapped in January 2014 and most directors would've had it ready by last May).
Re: Cannes 2015
I took it more as Love is incomplete, but Fremaux is trying to convince Noe to let him show the film as is.The Fanciful Norwegian wrote:is cagey on Noe's Love ("I'm pushing him to show me what he's got," which I suspect means they rejected an earlier cut but Noe is still working on it)

Cannes Film Festival watchers reacted with dismay yesterday at the exclusion of Arnaud Desplechin’s Trois Souvenirs De Ma Jeunesse from the Official Selection. But fans of the Jimmy P, Un Conte De Noël, and Rois Et Reine helmer can now take solace that his latest film will play in Directors’ Fortnight next month. Going by the English title My Golden Years, it’s set to screen on May 15.

Full trailer for A Tale of Tales (Garrone) was released today. Looks stunning.

Re: Cannes 2015
I know it's very premature to say, but the main slate looks a bit moribund. They should get some eccentric billionaire to fund a competition lineup, New Crowned Hope-style, that's a mix of features from the best established and up-and-coming female filmmakers from around the world, because the reliance on middling male Europudding auteurs has really been showing its limits in recent years. That's not to say a few of the films won't be worthwhile (I'm sure a handful will be), but it all seems pretty pale and in dire need of a serious shakeup on first glance.

Re: Cannes 2015
At least the Gomes has been announced, albeit for Directors' Fortnight. I agree that I'm anything but excited about this main slate (save for Hou finally). Where's the new Sokurov? The new Apichatpong?

Re: Cannes 2015
I think Cronenfly has a good point with this year's slate - I think recent years have had strong line-ups, but I'm less than thrilled about this one.
I think Haynes and Gomes' films are the ones I'm looking forward to the most. Usually there's a few unfamiliar films that become favorites by year's end, so hopefully that'll be the case again. I'm less optimistic about Hou's film - I don't think it'll be bad, but given the nature of that production and how it came together, I think he was expected to deliver something fairly commercial. It'll be interesting to see how he works under that framework, but it could be fairly grounded in convention.

Koreeda, Hou, Kurosawa and Jia -- sound pretty good right there, for starters.

Great to hear about the Gomes! Just caught up with Our Beloved Month of August, and found it to be one of the most purely pleasurable films I've seen in quite some time.

Re: Cannes 2015
It's been a while since I've bothered to sit through a Van Sant film, but if Sea of Trees is anything like the stuff he was doing in the early 2000s—and I have heard suggestions to that end—then it'll be well worth seeing. Also, the Lanthimos film should be magnificent. Otherwise, the competition line-up is looking a little stale.
