2014 Cannes Lineup Announced
Two Days, One Night There were few surprises to be had at this morning’s announcement of the Competition, Un Certain Regard and Special Screenings sections for the 2014 Cannes Film Festival — perhaps barring Fremaux’s proud, misleading assurance that a whopping 15 female directors were included in the lineup, which is evidently French for eight.
Familiar faces returning to the Croisette include Assayas, Cronenberg, Zvyaginstev, Bilge Ceylan, Hazanavicius, Egoyan, Loach, Leigh and the Dardennes, whose Two Days, One Night may prove to be Marion Cotillard’s successful shot at the Best Actress title, after snubs for Rust and Bone and The Immigrant. The two American titles in Competition are Bennett Miller’s Foxcatcher and the somewhat peculiar selection of The Homesman from Tommy Lee Jones.
Xavier Dolan enjoys his long awaited promotion to the main slate with Mommy, while Mathieu Amalric, whose On Tour won him Best Director in 2010, is relegated to Un Certain Regard. Expect a few last minute additions to the Competition, including the Closing Night selection, but for now, the lineup is below.
