Today, the 2013 Cannes Film Festival announced in official lineup. The best news for me is the inclusion of Alexander Payne's black-and-white road trip film Nebraska and the Coen Brothers 60s folk music film Inside Llewyn Davis in the main competition selection. Got to love the Coens! Other highlights announced for the in-competition (for the coveted Palme d'Or) include, Nicolas Winding Refn's Only God Forgives, Roman Polanski's Venus in Fur, Steven Soderbergh's HBO film Behind the Candelabra and Cannes regular Takashi Miike's cop thriller Wara No Tate (Shield of Straw). These are interesting films to me but I also am excited to hear about Arnaud Desplechin's Jimmy P. with Benicio del Toro, Asghar Farhadi's The Past, his follow-up to is Academy Award winning A Separation, and Kore-Eda Hirokazu's Soshite Chichi Ni Naru (Like Father, Like Son). If you have not seen his amazing Still Walking check it out. Kore-Eda Hirokazu is an amazing filmmaker.
In the Un Certain Regard, or original and different international cinema section, the highlights include Sofia Coppola's The Bling Ring, Claire Denis' Les Salauds (The Bastards) another ridiculously talented filmmaker, and Ryan Cogler's Sundance smash Fruitvale Station.
The Out-of-Competition films that appear to be enticing are J.C. Chandor's All is Lost with Robert Redford, Guillaume Canet's Blood Ties. The Midnight Screening includes another Cannes regular Johnnie To's Blind Detective. Also, Kim Novak will be in attendance for a special showing of Alfred Hitchcock's haunting masterpiece Vertigo, recently named by Sight & Sound as the number one film of all time.
It appears programmer Thierry Fremaux wanted a star studded festival and he got it. Especially with the Opening Night Film being Baz Luhrman's The Great Gatsby with Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan and Tobey Maguire. The selection looks quite exciting and with directors like Payne, Coen's, Polanski and Denis, it has to be good and interesting.The Festival runs from May 15 to 26 in southern France. Here is a complete list of all the films, announced has of know since there might be a few handed in the weeks heading up to the festival, and the categories each one is in after the jump.
