Over at IndieWire, there is some discussion about which films MIGHT screen at the Cannes Film fest. Several of their film writers created a wish list. Anne Thompson takes it a step farther and begins rating the films that MIGHT screen at the Cannes Film fest.
I totally appreciate this, even if it does feel like being 16, laying on my bed and trying imagine what kind of babies I might have and whether they would have blue eyes or brown eyes and what their names might be.
Thompson gives four stars (most likely to make an appearance at the fest) to:
Mike Leigh’s Another Year
Cristi Puiu’s Aurora
Olivier Assayas’ Carlos
Alejandro Gonzales Inarritu’s Biutiful
Guillaume Canet’s Little White Lies
Kelly Reichardt’s Meek‚Äôs Cutoff
Julian Schnabel’s Miral
Anh Hung Tran’s Norwegian Wood
Francois Ozon’s Potiche
Tom Tykwer’s Three
Bela Tarr’s The Turin Horse
Oliver Stone’s Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps
Woody Allen’s You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger
Among the least likely, says Thompson, Peter Weir’s The Way Back, Toy Story 3, Stephen Frears‚Äô Tamara Drewe, Sofia Coppola’s Somewhere, Julie Taymor’s The Tempest, Cam Archer‚Äôs Shit Year, Julio Medem’s Room in Rome, Darren Aronofsky‚Äôs Black Swan, Oren Peli‚Äôs Area 51,
