They are always the same directors. Cannes changes the line-up every two years but they basically remain those 20 names that keep being chosen. Nonotheless they are alway great directors.
I'm very curious about my beloved Kawase and Doillon (also for Caneele's return to acting) with also curiosity for Zvyangintsev and Lanthimos.

Could Kidman come home with a Best Actress award or will her "Hollywood star" aura prevent her from being awarded a prize in a art-house festival after Berlin 2003?

Four really interesting projects in one year, combined with Big Little Lies and Lion last year. I'm all for it.

Twin Peaks is such a dumb move. Why would anyone want this? Why would you want to have your premiere viewing of the new season ruined?

Only three competition titles clock in above 2 hours, and a good many of them are in the 90 to 100-minute range.

Swinton was pretty damned good and would've made a fine nominee (although if I had to choose between her and Mara for that last nomination slot, gotta go with the Roons, who is my win) and I liked Reilly, but I despised Ezra Miller's performance. But in terms of Ramsay's direction, it positively oozed with dread and portent, even if I think she sometimes went a bit overboard. I still think Ratcatcher is her best work, but I think that You Were Never Really Here (a brutal and merciless noir story) is a perfect fit for her, and Joaquin Phoenix feels like the best muse she could have for the story. Think of his character as a cross between a more damaged Freddie Quell from The Master and Driver from Drive.

Good morning, Oscar Buzz. I'm listening.

It's a very slim story (less than a hundred pages), and so much of it is internalized that I think that Ramsay has the freedom to play around with it. It's certainly going to be intense, at any rate.

Good morning, Oscar Buzz. I'm listening.

Jury Prize -- Rodin
Director -- Yorgos Lanthimos, The Killing of a Sacred Deer
Screenplay -- Jupiter's Moon
Actor -- Robert Pattinson, Good Time

And so, let the curtain rise on tonight's dream
