I also hope that his movie is eligible for next year's Oscars and will compensate for the disappointment of Ploning.

I know they love Von Trier but is <I>Antichrist</I> really a Cannes film? <I>Inglorious Basterds</I>? I might've prefered titles like <I>Precious</I> or <I>Samson and Delilah</I> (both Un Certain Regard picks which I'm sure will win prizes) that have proven their worth already. <I>Samson and Delilah</I> was apparently in the comp list but got booted by one of those more famous directors' pieces. Of course. You'll never find the next Quentin Tarantino by choosing Quentin Tarantino each and ever time he makes a movie (and this is from someone who has given every QT movie either an A- or higher).<br /><br />Andrea Arnold is one of the lesser known directors I'm looking forward too. <I>Red Road</I> was stunning.Glennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08194113062830373898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-48166094281037069842009-04-23T16:20:00.000-04:002009-04-23T16:20:00.000-04:00Bright Star!

Plus: Kikuchi has Cannes and Oscars experience.<br />2. Giovanna Mezzogiorno: Maybe she's the same Sophia Loren's luck. Playing a real character (Wife of one of the most important italian figures)<br />3. Chalotte Gainsbourg: French actress. Daghter of two icons (Sergei gainsbourg and Jane Birkin) and Lars Von Trier gives to Bjork the actress award in 2000<br />4. Penelope Cruz: If she win this year she became the fifth actress winning twice here after Vanessa Redgrave, Barbara Hershey, Helen Mirren e Isabelle Huppert<br /><br />Best Actor Contenders:<br /><br />1. Ben Wisham: He's a rising british star and he's a great role (On paper). Maybe is also the return of Jane Campion.<br />2. Ulrich Tukur: Michael Haneke almost won awards every time he's in Cannes.<br />3. Andre Dussolier: He's a french veteran actor with a prolific career. Sometimes helps a lot.<br />4. Gerard Depardieu: I think he would be the first actor who win in Cannes twice.

Cannes has really scrambled the PR on this one; their own website says that Huppert is only the fourth woman to head a jury, after Françoise Sagan, Moreau, and Ullmann, which leaves out Adjani, Ingrid Bergman, Olivia de Havilland, Sophia Loren... Some of those women served long enough ago that maybe there's some technicality of vocabulary that named their position as something other than "Jury President," but that certainly wasn't the case with Adjani, at the very least.<br /><br />So excited for the Campion, the Arnold, the Audiard, the Haneke... Don't know why Souleymane Cissé is yet the latest West African master whose film is showing out of the main competition instead of inside it, but some Cannes patterns seem never to go away (even though Cissé was a prize winner 20 years ago).NicksFlickPickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04607501848596529493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-30894214823240799892009-04-23T12:29:00.000-04:002009-04-23T12:29:00.000-04:00I hate von Trier with a passion beyond measure.I hate von Trier with a passion beyond measure.Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05061313079120981794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-79272030638317304102009-04-23T11:52:00.000-04:002009-04-23T11:52:00.000-04:00So excited.
