Hmmmm. What's that smell? It smells a little like bullshit. We're not quite sure. The list of films that are rumoured to be debuting in Cannes are like a movie buff's wish list. Porn for film geeks. It all just seems a little unlikely especially since the festival is in May and last we heard Michael Moore's documentary was only beginning to shoot. Pedro Almodovar's Broken Embraces opens in Spain in March so won't be too enticing to the Cannes programmers. It just feels like somebody is playing with the hearts and minds of us poor buffs. Getting us all excited and whipping up an internet frenzy of anticipation. Anyway, here's the list. Is it too good to be true?
Pedro Almodovar’s Broken Embraces,
Steven Soderbergh’s The Informant
Lars von Trier’s Antichrist
Cristian Mungiu’s Tales From the Golden Age
The Coen Brothers’ A Serious Man
Gaspar Noe’s Enter the Void
