Cannes 2011

Le Havre (Aki Kaurismaki)

Melancholia (Lars von Trier)

The Tree of Life (Terence Malick)

Unforgivable (Andre Techine) 

The Kid with the Bike (Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne)

Drive (Nicolas Winding Refn)

Once Upon a Time in Anatolia (Nuri Bilge Ceylan)

Miss Bala (Gerardo Naranjo)

Above are my picks of the must-see films screened so far at Cannes 2011 (in or out of competition, and in no particular order of preference). The festival ends and awards are announced on Sunday. And finally, a gorgeous shot of Faye Dunaway in one of the Cannes Classic entries.

Puzzle of a Downfall Child (Jerry Schatzberg)
