The lineup for 2015 Cannes Film Festival which will kick off on May 13th has been announced earlier today in a press conference. The competition jury (yet to be revealed) is headed by the Coen brothers of course. The festival will open with "La Tete Haute" by Emmanuelle Bercot (playing out of competition), revealed three days ago. This would be the second female-directed film to open the festival since... the 80's!
Several of the titles in competiton were expected to make it with a few curiously missing out. They usually continue to add more films as the festival nears, its like a Cannes tradition so at least three more may be included in the main slate. Jacques Audiard's new film along with Todd Haynes (Carol), Hou Hsiao Hsien (The Assassin), Joachim Trier (Louder than Bombs) and Paolo Sorrentino (Youth) will be vying for the Palme d'Or. Some other regular filmmakers are included as well, like Hirokazu Kore-eda, Nanni Moretti, Matteo Garrone and Jia Zhang-ke. A great lineup from what I can well, presume. Cannot wait for the Cannes madness to start.
Other than the main selection, there are films like George Miller's Mad Max: Fury Road, Woody Allen's Irrational Man and Pixar's Inside Out playing out of competition.
