John Hillcoat’s Lawless makes an appearance with Tom Hardy, Gary Oldman, Jessica Chastain and Guy Pearce forming an excellent cast for the director’s follow up to The Road and Michael Haneke’s Amour will debut at the festival as will new films from Alain Resnais, Jacques Audiard and Jeff Nichols whose Take Shelter as one of my favourites of last year.
Twilight fans wil be well served, not by an earlier screening of the final part of Breaking Dawn thankfully but with stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson leading Walter Salles’ On the Road and David Cronenberg’s adaptation of Don DeLillo’s Cosmoplis. Interestingly Cronenberg Jr. also has a film playing – son Brandon has his film Anitviral in Un Certain Regard.
Worringly there’s not a female director in sight when eyes are cast down the list of those films In Competiiton, nor is there a new film from Malick, which was an anticipated but highly unlikely prospect. Other points of interest are the screening of Dario Argento’s Dracula (in 3D, no less) and Takashi Miike Ai To Makoto,.
Here’s the full lineup, we’ll be in Cannes for the whole festical bringing you as many reviews as is humanly possible.
