CANNES 2018 Official
Selection Three new films enter the
competition in Cannes
by Fabien Lemercier, Cineuropa 19/04/2018
Nuri Bilge
Ceylan, Yann Gonzalez
and Sergey Dvortsevoy are all now in
the race for the Palme d’Or. Lars von
Trier will feature out of competition, while Terry
Gilliam will close the festival.
As
predicted, the Official Selection list for the 71st Cannes Film Festival
(running 8 to 19 May) has been finalised today. The original 18 contenders for
the Palme d’Or have now become 21.
 The House That Jack Built by
Lars von
Trier
Entering the race are Turkish director Nuri Bilge
Ceylan (He was awarded the Palme d’Or in 2014, having won the Grand
Prize twice, and Best Director once, this being his 6th appearance in
competition at Cannes) with The Wild Pear
Tree, and two new entrants at this level: the young Frenchman
Yann Gonzalez with his second
full-length film Knife + Heart and
the Kazakh director Sergey
Dvortsevoy with My Little
One (a film produced by Russia, Germany and Poland – the
filmmaker’s second full-length film following Tulpan,
which earned him the Un Certain Regard prize in 2008).
As it turns out,
Danish filmmaker Lars von
Trier will return to the Croisette, having been barred from the
competition in 2011, but he will feature out of competition to unveil his film,
The House That Jack
Built.
 The Wild Pear Tree by Nuri Bilge
Ceylan
There are now 18 films selected for the Un Certain Regard section (news)
instead of the original 15, with the addition of Donbass by Ukranian director Sergei Loznitsa which is kicking off the programme, Die,
Monster, Die (Muere, Monstruo, Muere) by Alejandro Fadel (produced by Argentina
and France, coproduced by Chile) and The Dead and The Others (Chuva E Cantoria
Na Aldeia Dos Mortos) by the duo composed of Portuguese and Brazilian directors,
João Salaviza and Renée Nader Messora respectively.
Cannes’ Official
Selection has been made ever richer by the European production The Man Who Killed Don Quixote by Terry
Gilliam (with a cast featuring Adam
Driver, Jonathan
Pryce and Olga
Kurylenko), which will close the festival, by animated feature
Another Day of Life by Damien Nenow and Raúl de La
Fuente as a Special Screening, and by two other films in the Midnight
Screenings section: the documentary Whitney by Scottish director Kevin Macdonald and Fahrenheit 451 by American filmmaker Ramin Bahrani.
