The Cannes lineup is in a bunch of places: here's the link to
Indiewire's piece. Quick take: Inarritu's
Babel, Linklater's
Fast Food Nation, new films by Bruno Dumont, Pedro Almodovar, Ken Loach and Aki Kaurismaki, Sofia Coppola's
Marie Antoinette, Richard Kelly's
Southland Tales (which we have a tiny preview of in the new issue -- more when it comes out), and Nuri Bilge Ceylan's follow-up to
Distant all in Competition. Andrea Arnold's
Red Road the sole first feature in Competition. (I'm wondering what happened to Darren Aronofsky's
The Fountain -- Variety reported that it would be the festival "somewhere" just two weeks ago.) Don't know a lot of the out-of-competition stuff except for the obvious (
X3, the Al Gore doc, etc.). John Cameron Mitchell's
Shortbus, his NYC-set full-on sex movie in the Official Selection at Midnight.
A Scanner Darkly in Un Certain Regard along with
Paris je t'aime, that big Paris-set anthology film that's been in production for a while.

Congrats to Linklater on his singular accomplishment of having two films being shown ... Of all these, I think Del Toro's project sounds the most exciting, and John Cameron Mitchell's will be just plain fun
