In Competition at Cannes 2011

i love sorrentino but saw a picture of sean penn in costume that makes it pretty difficult to gauge

most interested in Malick, Dardennes, Ramsay

A few well-duh players (Trier, Sorrentino, Ramsay, Dardennes, Malick etc.) but the Refn and Miike make for a nice injection of genre fare. A couple of first features, too.

woah @ miike, did not see that coming

I'm hoping this means he's back on a roll lately; hearing good things about 13 Assassins.

Then again his other 2011 movie is called Ninja Kids!!!, so

The Tree of Ninja Kids!!!

That is definitely a movie called Ninja Kids!!!.

Here's the trailer for Sleeping Beauty, complete w/ Campion endorsement:

also it has a bunch of people even more interesting and/or blappable than ryan gosling

does that mean shaggable? because Ryan G is my most shaggable men.

also he seem intrsting.

ill personally blap christina hendricks, u guys sort the rest out

totally, i'm basically about 95% gay and she's the other 5%.

feel that way about timothy olyphant

Drive looks fukken awesome - looks like he's going for a Walter Hill vibe, cant wait

Repoll?

I'd be up for it, seeing as I set the date too early, and forgot to vote in it myself.

Frances McDormand co-stars with Harry Dean Stanton, Bono's daughter Eve Hewson, and David Bryne, who scores the film along with original songs by Will Oldham.

this will be the place sounding pretty great after all

dammit, must be the place

this looks so great!

it was announced at cannes this year that scorsese & von trier are really gonna team up for a remake of The Five Obstructions

I need to talk about We Need To Talk About Kevin.

Them prizes:

Jury Prize: Polisse
Screenplay: Footnote
Actress: Kirsten Dunst, Melancholia
Actor: Jean Dujardin, The Artist
Director: Nicolas Winding Refn, Drive
Grand Prix: Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne, Le Gamin Au Vélo
Palme D'Or: The Tree Of Life

The Tree of Life struck me as such a shoo-in that I had it typed in already, and just waited for confirmation to hit "submit post."

Actress: Kirsten Dunst, Melancholia press conference.

ha

Yeah she was an easy guess too.

Is "Tree of Life" that movie w/ Brad Pitt with the absurdly generic trailer that I kept seeing?

yes

How many other trailers like that have you watched? Link me to them.

Yeah, "generic" is the last thing i would call the trailer for Tree of Life

Who accepted for Tree? (or does Cannes not work that way)

according to deadline: "The reclusive director did not attend the ceremony, and the award was picked up by producers Bill Pohlad and Dede Gardner. "

way more excited about the Ceylan film

there was a long guardian article this morning about WILL THE RECLUSIVE MALICK SHOW HIS FACE?, peddling general quirky-reclusive-artist tropes, & ignoring that he was at one of the screenings a few days ago.

way more excited about the Ceylan film

you liked paper heart

The Guardian put up "Have You Seen This Man?" posters with Malick on them around Cannes appealing for any information on his whereabouts. Kind of a dick move.
