In addition to Olivier Assayas'
Carlos (I think they've dropped
the Jackal in the title), seven more films have been added to the Cannes roster. In competition, Wang Xiaoshuai's (
Beijing Bicycle,
Shanghai Dreams)
Chongqing Blues and Kornél Mundruczó's (
Delta,
Johanna)
Tender Son: The Frankenstein Project will bring the count to eighteen films competing for the Palme d'Or. Pablo Trapero's (
Rolling Family,
Lion's Den)
Carancho and Jia Zhang-ke's (
Still Life,
The World)
I Wish I Knew will be screening in the Un Certain Regard section. Andrei Ujică's
The Autobiography of Nicolae Ceauşescu, Lucy Walker's
Countdown to Zero and an omnibus film from Brazil entitled
5xFavela will be shown out of competition.
I realized that I forgot to mention the rest of the jury members that will be (hopefully) pushing Tim Burton in the right direction. They are actors Kate Beckinsale, Benicio del Toro and Giovanna Mezzogiorno; directors Victor Erice (
The Spirit of the Beehive), Shekhar Kapur (
Elizabeth) and Emmanuel Carrère (
La moustache); and Alberto Barbera, director of the National Museum of Cinema. Claire Denis will head the jury of the Un Certain Regard section.
