\nCannes International Film Festival<\/B>

\n17-28 May 2017

\nCannes, France

\nCannes website<\/A>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The 70th anniversary editoion of the Cannes Film Festival promises to be as intriguing, fun and unpredictable as ever. <\/p>\n

Opening on Wednesday 17 May with Arnaud Desplechin\u2019s latest offering Ismael\u2019s Ghosts<\/i><\/b>, the Competition line-up continues to follow the slighter darker, more adventurous direction introduced last year, this time including exciting new films such as Sofia Coppola\u2018s The Beguiled<\/em>, Todd Haynes\u2018 Wonderstruck<\/em>, the Safdie brothers\u2019 Good Time<\/em>, and Snowpiercer<\/em>-director Bong Joon-ho\u2018s Okja<\/em>. <\/p>\n

Yorgos Lanthimos follows up his acclaimed The Lobster<\/em> with The Killing of a Sacred Deer<\/em>, a Kubrickian version of a modern Greek tragedy starring Colin Farrell and Nicole Kidman, while Michael Haneke has teamed up again with Isabelle Huppert for his latest offering Happy End <\/em>. We also very much look forward to Andrey Zvyagintsev\u2019s Loveless<\/em>, Fatih Akin’s thriller In the Fade<\/em> and You Were Never Really Here<\/em>, the new film by Lynne Ramsay, which sees Joaquin Phoenix’s killer protagonist plunging deep into conspiracy and crisis. <\/p>\n

In comparison, this year\u2019s Un Certain Regard strand looks somewhat pale at first sight. However, the two titles that stand out are Before We Vanish<\/em> by veteran director Kiyoshi Kurosawa as well as Wind River<\/em>, the directorial debut by Sicario<\/em> and Hell or High Water <\/em> writer Taylor Sheridan. Also worth checking out seems Western<\/em> by German director Valeska Grisebach, who worked as a writer on last year’s Cannes favourite Toni Erdmann<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Out of Competition titles include Takashi Miike’s Blade of the Immortal<\/em> and the new film by Hedwig and the Angry Inch<\/em> director John Cameron Mitchell, How to Talk to Girls at Parties<\/em>, while the Midnight Screenings strand seems to offer equally intriguing fare with Jung Byung-Gil’s The Villainess <\/em> and Byun Sung-Hyun’s The Merciless<\/em>. Plus, this year two episode\u2019s of David Lynch\u2019s upcoming season of Twin Peaks<\/em> and two episodes of Jane Campion’s Top of the Lake <\/em> will be screened, despite the fact that there is usually little television on show at Cannes. <\/p>\n

As always, one must also take note of the usually excellent Directors\u2019 Fortnight strand, which this year opens with Claire Denis\u2018 Un Beau Soleil Interieur<\/em>, starring Juliette Binoche. However, the slate also includes new films from Abel Ferrara (Alive in France<\/em>) and Sean Baker (The Florida Project<\/em><\/a>), as well as Sundance frontrunner Patti Cake$<\/em> by Geremy Jasper, which serves as the closing film. <\/p>\n
