Allen and Cronenberg among familiar faces at Cannes
The Cannes Film Festival is back in the hands of comfy old friends with a line-up that includes such familiar filmmakers as Woody Allen, David Cronenberg, Gus Van Sant, Wim Wenders, Lars von Trier and Atom Egoyan.
A year ago, Cannes presented a wild mix of big Hollywood tales (Shrek 2, Troy, Dawn of the Dead) and edgy films (Wong Kar-wai’s 2046 and Pedro Almodovar’s Bad Education), led by the rabble-rousing Fahrenheit 9/11, Michael Moore’s White House assault that won the festival’s top honour.
