Cannes Festival 2008

Clint Eastwood will be represented by "Changeling", a mystery set in the 1920s in Los Angeles starring Angelina Jolie. Steven Soderbergh will present "Che", a four-hour film about the Argentine revolutionary Che Guevara.

Other films in the competition will come from Belgium, Turkey, France, Argentina, Brazil and Italy.

----------

La rumeur qui courait depuis quelques semaines a enfin été confirmée, le très attendu Indiana Jones 4 sera présenté en grande première au Festival de Cannes 2008 le 18 mai, quatre jours avant sa sortie mondiale (le 22 mai). Steven Spielberg, Harrison Ford, Shia LaBeouf, Cate Blanchett et George Lucas (qui produit le film) monteront les marches du Palais des festivals pour présenter hors compétition Indiana Jones et le royaume du crâne de cristal.

Cette projection spéciale du nouveau blockbuster de Spielberg sera sans nul doute l'événement de ce 61ème Festival de Cannes, qui se déroulera du 14 au 25 mai. Thierry Frémaux (délégué général) et Gilles Jacob (président) ont dévoilé une liste quasi-complète de la sélection mais manquent encore à l’affiche un film français (une chance de plus pour décrocher la première palme française depuis 1987 et "Sous le soleil de Satan" de Pialat) et les films d’ouverture et de clôture.

Parmi les 1792 films visionnés (contre 1615 en 2007), les sélectionneurs en ont retenu 19. Parmi eux, les frères Dardenne ("Le Silence de Lorna"), Arnaud Desplechin et un "Conte de Noël", Steven Soderbergh ("Che"), le nouveau Clint Eastwood ("Changeling"), le Turc Nuri Bilge Ceylan ("Trois singes"), le Canadien Atom Egoyan ("Adoration"), Jia Zhangke ("24 City"), Wim Wenders ("The Palermo Shooting"), la première fiction du scénariste Charlie Kaufman ("Synecdoche, New York"), la première apparition en compétition de Philippe Garrel ("La Frontière de l’aube") et l’opus israélien d'Ari Folman ("Waltz with Bashir"), "un film d’animation documentaire" dixit Thierry Frémeaux.

Hors compétition, le nouvel "Indiana Jones" sera présenté en exclusivité quelques jours avant sa sortie mondiale. Egalement le nouveau Woody Allen ("Vicky Cristina Barcelona"), avec Penélope Cruz et Scarlett Johansson qui sort au passage son premier album en France.

La curiosité de ce festival devrait être le documentaire du journaliste Daniel Leconte consacré aux démêlés de "Charlie Hebdo" et de ses caricaturistes avec les intégristes de tous bords, au titre prometteur "C’est dur d’être aimé par des cons".

Concernant le jury, on savait déjà que le Président du Jury de ce Festival de Cannes 2008 serait l'acteur-réalisateur américain Sean Penn. Il sera accompagné par le metteur en scène mexicain Alfonso Cuarón, l'américaine Natalie Portman, l'acteur-réalisateur italien Sergio Castellito, le cinéaste français d'origine algérienne Rachid Bouchareb, l'actrice allemande Alexandra Maria Lara et le metteur en scène thaïlandais Apichatpong Weerasethakul. Deux autres noms des membres du jury seront dévoilés plus tard.


La sélection officielle :

"Trois singes", de Nuri Bilge Ceylan; "Le Silence de Lorna", de Jean-Pierre et Luc Dardenne; "Un conte de noël", de Arnaud Desplechin; "Changeling", de Clint Eastwood; "Adoration", de Atom Egoyan; "Waltz with Bashir", de Ari Folman, "La Frontière de l’aube", de Philippe Garrel; "Gomorra", de Matteo Garrone; "Synecdoche, New York", de Charlie Kaufman; "My Magic", de Eric Khoo; "La Mujer sin cabeza", de Lucrecia Martel; "Serbis", de Brillante Mendoza;"Delta", de Kornel Mundruczo; "Linha de passe", de Walter Salles; "Il Divo", de Paolo Sorrentino; "Leonera", de Pablo Trapero; "The Palermo Shooting", de Wim Wenders; "24 City", de Jia Zhangke; "Che", de Steven Soderbergh.
