Amour (Michael Haneke)
Mekong Hotel (Apichatpong Weerasethakul)
La Noche de Enfrente (Raul Ruiz)
Holy Motors (Leos Carax)
Like Someone In Love (Abbas Kiarostami)
Moonrise Kingdom (Wes Anderson) and official Cannes poster
In Another Country (Hong Sang-Soo)
Vous N'Avez Encore Rien Vu (Alain Resnais)
Post Tenebras Lux (Carlos Reygadas)
Although the official critical consensus has been that this was a very disappointing year for Cannes, there are a number of films (both in and out of Competition) that I am quite looking forward to seeing. Members of the New York Film Festival Selection Committee are on record as not liking the new Hong Sang-Soo film, so I don't expect to see that in the 50th edition of the festival. The others above (apart from the superb and already released Moonrise Kingdom) stand a good chance of making the final cut.
