After Wong Kar-Wai’s My Blueberry Nights (starring Jude Law and Norah Jones) opened the 60th festival yesterday, David Fincher’s Zodiac screened for an international delegation of journalists early this morning at the Grand Theatre Lumiere. Zodiac, which already got its release in the US, is about the namesake serial killer who terrorized San Francisco’s Bay Area in the 70s only to disappear into anonymity; as the film progresses the gruesome murders become less significant than the growing divide and ensuing skirmishes over jurisdiction between the main law enforcement players. Jake Gyllenhaal, Mark Ruffalo, Robert Downey, Jr., and Chloe Sevigny as Gyllenhaal's love interest star in it.
