Tema: Cannes 2007 (16-27 de mayo)

Haneke puede haber considerado que despues de 10 años, puede dar una nueva visión a su película.

Yo no estoy a favor ni en contra de cualquier remake antes de verla. Me parece precipitado y prejuicioso

Steven Soderbergh's "Ocean's Thirteen" will make its international bow at Cannes, screening out of competition.
As ever, Cannes is keeping tight-lipped about its program for the 60th annual event, ahead of its official lineup announcement April 19.

The studio and fest have yet to determine a date for the gala screening, with hopes that as many of the pic's lead actors -- George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Al Pacino, et al -- can attend.

"Thirteen" offers the latest evidence that the Hollywood-Cannes romance is in full bloom.

The fest benefits from the presence of Hollywood stars, while the major studios get a high-profile international bow for their pics. That's become increasingly important as the studios are opening more and more tentpoles with day-and-date summer bows.

However, Sony's launch of "The Da Vinci Code" last year pointed up the perils that Hollywood faces on the Croisette. The pic was resoundingly panned by jet-lagged critics, while other journalists took the opportunity to blast the company's keep-it-under-wraps strategy and its expensive and chaotic post-preem party.

The pic proved critic-proof, grossing $758 million worldwide. But other films in recent years -- as diverse as "Marie Antoinette," "Hollywood Ending" and "The Ladykillers" -- didn't seem to benefit from the high profile.

However, some big Hollywood titles, like "Shrek 2" and "X-Men 3" have been buoyed by Cannes bows.

"Thirteen" reps WB's third out-of-competition presence in Cannes in recent years, following "Troy" in 2004 and "The Matrix Reloaded" in 2003.

The only official acknowledgement so far is fest prexy Gilles Jacob's mention of the May 20 screening of "Chacun son cinema," a feature consisting of three-minute shorts by 35 world-ranking directors to mark the fest's 60th anniversary.

Aside from "Thirteen's" star power, director Soderbergh -- winner of the Palme d'Or in 1989 for his first film "Sex, lies and videotape" -- epitomizes the kind of high-profile international auteur that Cannes likes to showcase.

The helmer went to the Croisette with two other films, "King of the Hill" in competition in 1993 and "The Limey," which screened out of competition in 1999. He was also on the fest's jury in 2003.

Stephen Frears presides over the competition jury this year for the festival, which runs May 16-27.

Segunda confirmada de "manera oficiosa", tras el Paranoid Park de Van Sant.

Otra que dan como segura es "Things we Lost in the Fire" de Sussane Bier ("Brothers", "After the Wedding")

Posibles films de apertura y clausura.

"My Blueberry Nights" Wong Kar Wai
"Zodiac" David Fincher

Vas a Cannes, Chinocudeiro?

Que suertes tienes, marica

No lo se todavía, pero es muy probable. Aunque me vuelva a entrar una depresión de caballo, como la del año pasado

joer, ya me gustaría a mi tener esas depresiones...

Cannes' Asian selections set to be strongest in years

With the Cannes Film Festival pulling out all the stops for a glittering 60th edition, the Asian selection promises to be the strongest in years.

New titles from Jiang Wen, Lee Chang-dong, Kim Ki-duk, Im Kwon-taek, Takeshi Kitano and Wang Xiaoshuai could line up next to Hou Hsiao-Hsien’s first French-language film Le Ballon Rouge and Wong Kar-wai’s first English-language effort My Blueberry Nights.

While the Cannes selection is not officially announced until April 19, a host of high-profile films are expected to unveil there including Jiang Wen’s The Sun Also Rises, his first feature since Devils On The Doorstep won the Grand Jury Prize in Cannes 2000, Lee Chang Dong’s Milyang, his first film since the internationally acclaimed Oasis (2002) and Im Kwon-taek’s 100th film as a director Beyond The Years. Im has been in competition only twice before – in 2000 with Chunhyang and in 2002 with Chihwaseon.

Wang Xiaoshuai’s latest Left, Right will also likely be ready for the Croisette where he won a jury prize for Shanghai Dreams two years ago and the prolific Kim Ki-duk, who was first in Cannes in 2005 when The Bow played in Un Certain Regard, could be there again with his latest Breath starring Taiwanese superstar Chang Chen as a death-row inmate.

From Japan, Takeshi Kitano, last in competition in 1999 with Kikujiro, will be ready with his latest Kantoku Banzai in which he himself plays a film director, and Shinji Aoyama, in competition in 2000 with Eureka and in 2001 with Desert Moon, could be back with Sad Vacation.

Other possibilities include the crime triptych Triangle directed by Tsui Hark, Ringo Lam and Johnnie To, To’s latest stand-alone feature The Sparrow, Stephen Chow’s science-fiction comedy A Hope, Alexi Tan’s directorial debut Blood Brothers and Pen-ek Ratanaruang’s Ploy.

Hou’s Le Ballon Rouge starring Juliette Binoche and shot in Paris late last year seems like a shoo-in while Wong’s My Blueberry Nights starring Norah Jones, Jude Law and Rachel Weisz is being tipped for an out-of-competition slot.

Ironically, several of these directors will be in Cannes anyway presenting three-minute short films they have made for the festival’s Chacun Son Cinema project, a feature composed of 33 shorts made by some of the world’s greatest film-makers to screen on May 20. Among those who have made shorts are Hou Hsiao-Hsien, Takeshi Kitano and Wong Kar-wai, as well as Chen Kaige, Tsai Ming Liang and Zhang Yimou.

tengo ganitas de ver cómo es recibida la nueva de Wong Kar Wai. :amor

y Kitano le vuelve a poner los cuernos a Venecia con Cannes.

joder... qué pasada... cantidades industriales de arroz :amor
Triangle tiene una pinta impresionante:

Pobres Boyero y compañia

WE OWN THE NIGHT starring Mark Wahlberg, Joaquin Phoenix, Robert Duvall and Eva Mendes
NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN directed by the Coen brothers and starring Javier Bardem, Tommy Lee Jones and Josh Brolin
U2 3-D, the U2 documentary directed by Mark Pellington (THE MOTHMAN PROPHECIES)
ZODIAC directed by David Fincher
Selected scenes from New Line's THE GOLDEN COMPASS
OCEAN'S THIRTEEN starring pretty much everyone
An extended DEATH PROOF from Quentin Tarantino
Martin Scorsese's untitled Rolling Stones documentary

Other films rumored but not yet confirmed are Michael Moore's SICKO, Wong Kar Wai's MY BLUEBERRY NIGHTS, Woody Allen's CASSANDRA'S DREAM and Todd Haynes' I'M NOT THERE. The full schedule will be released in two weeks and the festival kicks off on May 16.
So for us, it's really about the new Coen brothers movie, not to put pressure on the film or anything. Partly because they are are brilliant and make such memorable films and partly because, other than the Golden Compass, it's the only one with serious Oscar potential (maybe). IMDb's synopsis of No Country, "Violence and mayhem ensue after a hunter stumbles upon some dead bodies, a stash of heroin and more than $2 million in cash near the Rio Grande."

But perhaps a better write-up is the one about the Cormac McCarthy book...after the cut.

Set along a bloody frontier in our own time, this is Cormac McCarthy’s first novel since Cities of the Plain completed his acclaimed, bestselling Border Trilogy.
Llewelyn Moss, hunting antelope near the Rio Grande, instead finds men shot dead, a load of heroin, and over two million in cash. Packing the money out, he knows, will change everything. But only after two more men are murdered does a victim’s burning car lead Sheriff Bell to the carnage out in the desert, and he soon realizes that Moss and his young wife are in desperate need of protection. One party in the failed transaction hires an ex-Special Forces officer to defend his interests against a mesmerizing freelancer, while on either side are men accustomed to spectacular violence and mayhem. The pursuit stretches along and across the border, each participant seemingly determined to answer what one asks another: How does a man decide in what order to abandon his life?

A harrowing story of a war society wages on itself, an enduring meditation on the ties of love and blood and duty that inform lives and shape destinies, and a novel of extraordinary resonance and power.


I don't know about you but Oscar or not, I can't. fucking. wait. I know they are hit and miss, but even bad Coen brothers is better than most.

but even bad Coen brothers is better than most.

Los cojones, la mierda de los Coen huele igual de mal (o peor) que la de los demás.

¿Hasta cuando les va a durar la credibilidad?, ¿cuantos bodrios más seguidos tienen que hacer?, yo no doy ya un duro por ellos.

hombre, tampoco es para ponerse así. Bardem, Lee Jones, un western - comedia.... pinta bien, y además, esta no es remake

Y la quincena no ha salido todavía?, y el resto del jurado?, miedo me da el mediocrillo de Frears de presidente, aunque peor que WKW el año pasado es difícil que lo haga...

Que raro que se hayan caido finalmente Hou y Assayas, que parecían cantadísimos.

Assayas va fuera de competición.

En Screendaily está toda la selección, pero no encuentro a nadie que lo filtre

La Quincena la dicen unos cuantos días despues y ésto es lo que he sacado del jurado

Polley, Bellocchio, Sissako recruited for main Cannes jury
Main jury, headed by Frears, also includes Cheung, Collette, De Medeiros, Pamuk and Piccoli. Jia Zhang-ke heads the Cinefondation jury

Jaime Rosales va a la sección 'una cierta mirada', donde también va la nueva de Valeria Bruni Tedeschi como directora y la nueva de Harmony Korine (con uno de los casts más extraños que se recuerdan: Diego Luna como Michael Jackson, Denis Lavant como Charlie Chaplin, Samantha Morton como Marilyn Monroe, y también andan por ahí Werner Herzog y Leos Carax ) y el 1er largo de Lola Doillon, hija del gran Jacques Doillon, que aparecía siendo un bebé en 'la mujer que llora', espero que se le haya heredado algo del talento de su papá.

Han invitado a Scorsese para la Cinema foundation, y por el 60 aniversario, pero digo yo que podrían haber hecho algo más especial.

La guapísima Diane Kruger es la maestra de ceremonias :amor
Peor que Vincent Cassell el año pasado no lo hará

En mi opinión, la mejor noticia de todas es que Michael Moore no vaya a concurso.

No sé qué coño pinta en la sección oficial gente como Schnabel o Breillat.

También vemos cómo Cannes fagocita y roba descaradamente a talentos de otros festivales, como Fatith Akin ( la Berlinale lo encumbró ).

Robert Rodriguez estará celosillo, pero yo creo que la de Tarantino no van a tener cojones de premiarla con algo gordo.

En cuanto al jurado...
.. siempre me ha causado estupor que el palmarés del cine que se supone más comprometido con el arte tenga que ser decidido por gente absolutamente vendida a la industria del Hollywood mas rancio y conservador,

Hombre, por fin se sabe algo de la película de Rosales.

También vemos cómo Cannes fagocita y roba descaradamente a talentos de otros festivales, como Fatith Akin ( la Berlinale lo encumbró ).

Ah, vale. Que a Berlín y Venecia no va nadie que descubriese Cannes.

Tú si que eres rancio, Nogales.

Otro año donde se van a lamentar más las ausencias que las presencias.

Es pelín rancio meter a "Zodiac" y "Death Proof" en la sección Oficial, cuando están, más que manoseadas

Iniciado por nogales

Robert Rodriguez estará celosillo, pero yo creo que la de Tarantino no van a tener cojones de premiarla con algo gordo.

¿Porque habría de estarlo?. Sin haber visto Grindhouse está claro que las intenciones de la película de Rodriguez son muy distintas a las de Tarantino.

Ojo que en el pdf descargable de la web del festival aparece una película más dentro de la sección oficial a concurso:

Kim Ki Duk - Breath.
