The official line-up for the 2013 Cannes Film Festival has been revealed, with an interesting set of movies screening from May 15th to 26th. We already knew the festival would open with Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby and that Sofia Coppola’s The Bling Ring would kick off the Un Certain Regard segment, but now the other movies have been announced.
The main competition includes the Coen Brothers’ Inside Llewyn Davis, Takashi Miike’s Shield Of Straw, Alexander Payne’s Nebraska, and Nicolas Winding Refn’s Only God Forgives. Interestingly Steven Soberbergh’s Behind The Candelabra has been chosen.
While Soderbergh is a Cannes veteran, having won the Palme d’Or for Sex, Lies & Videotapes, his Liberace biopic Behind The Candelabra was made to be shown on American TV, rather than getting an American cinema release (although it will be coming to cinemas in other parts of the world), which you might have thought would cause Cannes to reject it.
Movies from Roman Polanksi, James Gray and Francois Ozon are also in competition, while out of competition there’s J.C. Chandor’s All Is Lost, starring Robert Redford, and Blood Ties by Guillaume Canet.
