UPDATE: The Cannes Film Festival offered up some surprises today, and plenty of firsts. The Official Selection includes two Competition slots filled by Netflix films (Okja by Bong Joon-ho and The Meyerowitz Stories by Noah Baumbach); there are also nine first-time filmmakers across the sections; and two TV series (David Lynch’s Twin Peaks and Jane Campion’s Top Of The Lake) as part of the 70th Anniversary Events program. Several films which were expected and did turn up include Sofia Coppola’s The Beguiled, Michael Haneke’s Happy End, Todd Haynes’ Wonderstruck and Yorgos Lanthimos’ The Killing Of A Sacred Deer.
PREVIOUS, 2AM PT: After months of speculation, the day has finally arrived when we’ll get a solid look at what’s in store for the 70th Cannes Film Festival which runs May 17-28. Chief Thierry Frémaux is announcing the lineup this morning in Paris, and it’s one which has been shrouded in more mystery than I can recall in 20 years of covering the event. Names we expect to be announced as part of the Official Selection today include Sofia Coppola, Michael Haneke, Todd Haynes, Yorgos Lanthimos and Michel Hazanvicius. The latter has been tipped as a possibility to open the festival with his Jean-Luc Godard-themed Redoubtable, although there’s still a question mark there. We’ll know more in just a few moments. The full list of titles announced today (Frémaux typically saves some surprises to be added over the remaining weeks before the Riviera shindig kicks off) is being updated below, so keep checking back.
