Comme chaque jour, this year Cannes' selection looks amazing. I personally can't wait to see:
Michael Haneke's Amour.
I think that Haneke's is a Spielberg of arthouse films. As if everything he touches, turns into little indie masterpiece; Funny Games. Caché. The Piano Teacher. The White Ribbon.
De plus, Haneke is such a great film-story-teller that everybody has even forgiven him telling one particular story TWICE...
David Cronenberg's Cosmopolis.
Similarly to Haneke, Cronenberg has quite a distinctive, edgy style that he might have betrayed (a little) while making The Dangerous Method. Yet, the trailer for Cosmopolis can reassure us that the old-good Cronenberg is back.
Even the choice of Robert Pattinson for the main part makes so much sense! After all, in Cronenberg's Naked Lunch the most acclaimed role belonged to the talking typewriter in a shape of a cockroach.
Walter Salles' On The Road.
Based on the book by J. Kerouac, On The Road have all the qualities to become an epic film;
it portrays a jazzy era of the postwar Beat Generation and has quite a spectacular cast: Steve Buscemi, Viggo Mortensen, Kirsten Dunst, Kristen Stewart and playing the main part, Sam Riley.
Sam Riley, ever since he played Ian Curtis in Control must have a special clause in his contract regarding how he's being shot.
Which is like that:
There's trailer for On The Road (and towards the end we can see Sam Riley's The-Pose)
