CANNES FESTIVAL – The selection in pictures
This year’s selection in Cannes, while not being particularly exceptional in terms of big-name wattage, could lead to some interesting results. For example, this marks Xavier Dolan’s first year bringing a film to the competition series (he’s been at Cannes before, but was never in line to compete for the Palme D’Or). A win for Dolan would validate years of efforts and progress. This year also marks Jean-Luc Godard’s return, so to speak. Not to be outdone, the French new wave director has shot his “Adieu au langage” (“A farewell to language,” would be my best translation of it) in 3D.
