		<title>REVIEW &#8211; &#8220;The Dictator&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Could there be a better week for Sacha Baron Cohen to release a film called “The Dictator”? A few days ago, Cohen parked a camel in Cannes, in what seemed like the first act of a cult of personality. Paring a touch of showmanship, a frisky film, and the spotlight of the festival, the star of “Borat” all but declared himself the worldwide ruler of comedy. Like many public rituals under totalitarians, “The Dictator” is long on stagecraft but a little

		<title>CANNES FESTIVAL &#8211; Un Certain Regard 2012 is born</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Un Certain Regard (U.C.R.) program was officially launched during a brief ceremony tonight in the Debussy theater. Festival programmer Thierry Frémaux, who as per Cannes’ tradition emcees the U.C.R. premieres, brought the members of the jury on stage tonight before a screening of Lou Ye’s film “Mystery.” Jury president Tim Roth, flanked by actress Leïla Bekhti (pictured), Tonie Marshall... <a class="more-link" href="http://screencomment.com/2012/05/cannes-festival-un-certain-regard-2012-is-born/" rel="nofollow"> more ></a>]]></description>

		<title>CANNES FESTIVAL (day 2) &#8211; &#8220;Rust and bone&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Judging from the line of people waiting to get into a still-closed Théâtre Lumière (seating capacity: 2,281) at 7:45 this morning the anticipation was high for Jacques Audiard’s return to the Croisette, “Rust and Bone.” It was in this same theatre that three years ago we discovered the history- and career-making “A Prophet,” one of the best films made in the last twenty years. One can’t help wondering if the self-effacing Audiard felt any sort]]></description>

		<title>CANNES FESTIVAL (day 2) &#8211; &#8220;After the Battle&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are a million stories to be told from post-revolutionary Egypt but they won’t be told by an Egyptian filmmaker. The narrative of Yousry Nasrallah’s “After the Battle” which he wrote himself and which will have its premiere today in Cannes, held promise: as Egypt is still in the throes of revolutionary fervor an unlikely alliance forms between two people from different ends of the social spectrum who, under normal circumstances, might ]]></description>

		<title>CANNES FESTIVAL-Moonrise Kingdom</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If Standard &#038; Poor’s assessed film production values Wes Anderson would remain a AAA-rated cineaste year in and year out. The level of detail that went into every square inch of “Moonrise Kingdom,” which had its premiere here in Cannes a few hours ago, is above perfection. But “Moonrise” fails on other levels. Adult characters wretchedly watch as their kids go about resolving the problems of their day (only to finally prevail, at the very]]></description>

		<title>REVIEW &#8211; &#8220;The Avengers&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Comic book mavens rejoice, for Marvel Studios has concocted a heady and wonderful sensory brew in “The Avengers.” Weaving together the origin stories of Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, and Captain America, “The Avengers” packages a star-studded cast, one that could easily have imploded under its own weight, into a fleet-footed, yet cohesive, plotline. Nefarious forces from other worlds threaten Earth, led by the sneering and magnetic trickster god ]]></description>

		<title>OPINION &#8211; Open Letter to Coline, Virginie and Fanny</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What would the Cannes Festival be without a little fracas? Some kind of polemic has been making the rounds of the French media this week concerning the lack of women filmmakers in the official selection at the Cannes Festival--twenty-two films, by male directors all, are vying for awards this year. Things turned nasty when Virginie Despentes, Fanny Cottençon, and Coline Serreau (a screenwriter-director, actress and director respect-]]></description>
