any films your looking forward to seeing?

i cant wait to see:

Clean - Olivier Assayas
2046 - Wong Kar Wai
GHOST IN THE SHELL 2: INNOCENCE - Oshii Mamoru
(I didn't even know there was a sequel being made!)
Farhenheit 911 - Michael Moore
House of Flying Daggers - Zhang Yimou (director of Hero)

I wonder what will win, 'In the mood for love' by Wong Kar
Wai won before and the sequel '2046' seems to be favourite
andlooks AMAZING!

Anyone know how they choose what films are in the
competition? I'm glad Troy isn't in there.

2046 is probably the film i want to see the most, if you've
ever seen a Wong Kar Wai film you'd know why. Also just look
at the cast list!

without having seen the michael moore film, i'm pretty
disappointed that it won... i am almost certain that it will
be shaky in stretches, because all of his films are in some
regard... it's a shame that he has become the official
spokesperson for the left because there are times when his
arguments and methods can be easily dismantled... and that
the film won, shows Cannes trying to make a political
statement, as opposed to honouring the best cinema had to
offer at cannes... that all said, i am looking forward to
seeing it and i do hope he did a good a job as he is capable
of, as it could be (as has already been mentioned) a
powerful tool for the left in the forthcoming election...

well whatever, we all have different opinions on whats going
on in the world today, but this is a thread about Cannes so
i'm not going to turn this into a political debate like too
many threads here.

anyway, I doubt his film would have won if it weren't for
the political climate right now,

"Many critics had rated other films higher, particularly
"2046," a soft-lensed, complex love tale by Hong Kong
director Wong Kar-wai."

can't wait to see it!

i wouldn't want to get into that debate either :)
all im going to say is that i belive him just about as much
as i belive bush...seems like he knows how to do a good
documentary, unfortunately he often gets carried away
though.

as far as the rest of those films i was expecting; i've read
that kusturica's new one was disappointing and i was kind of
hoping it'd be great...ah well...

totally on it DeadEight. Moore is good at what he does but
it is not what Cannes is supposedly about.

there's too many people attending as it is...i have to wait
in line like an hour or two hours to get all the tickets i
need :(
