So it has begun

The 68th Film Festival in Cannes is starting tonight, with the Coen brothers as jury presidents. The opening ceremony has just happened.

There are at least a few films I'm rather excited about, even though they won't be released in theatre until September , October or November:

• LOUDER THAN BOMBS by Joachim TRIER who previously directed the beautiful Oslo August 31, which I loved so much.
• MACBETH by Justin KURZEL , starring Michael Fassbender as Macbeth and Marion Cotillard as lady Macbeth. Yes I'm curious and think that Fassy will be a great Macbeth!
• THE SEA OF TREES by Gus VAN SANT, starring Matthew McConaughey
• UMIMACHI DIARY by KORE-EDA Hirokazu who previously made the wonderful Nobody Knows and Like Father Like Son
• DHEEPAN by Jacques AUDIARD

There are other films that could be good too, but those 5 are already on my "must watch" list.

May they choose well.
