Amazing line-up offering the new films by Lynch, Tsai, Weerasethakul, Straub-Huillet, Resnais, Jia Zhangke, Spike Lee, Robbe-grillet, Aronofsky, Frears, Verhoeven, De Palma, De Oliveira, Oshii, Kurosawa K., Aoyama! And I'm looking forward the critical response to these most especially.

Also a lifetime achievement honorary award to David Lynch, one of my most favorite filmmaker alive.

Next stage for new international releases will be Toronto (September 7 to 16).

But I'm still waiting for the other suspects expected to be selected in Cannes back then:

- Hana Yori Mo Naho (Kore-Eda/Japan) released in Japan in June
- Goya's ghosts (Milos Forman/USA) completed
- The Good German (Soderbergh/USA) completed
- Nacido y criado (Pablo Trapero/Argentina) post-prod
- Youth without youth (Francis Ford Coppola/USA) post-prod
- Wu Qingyuan (Tian Zhuangzhuang/China) post-prod
- Zapakh kamnya (Andrei Zviaguintsev/Russia) filming
- The Man from London (Béla Tarr) pre-prod
- Scream of the Ants (Makhmalbaf/Iran) unknown?

Ouyang Feng a dit…

I agree the line-up is very teasing and promising. Also I found it a bit more diverse, and there are much more Asian films (than for instance at the Cannes festival's selection this year!).

HarryTuttle a dit…

Hi Ouyang Feng, nice to see you, how are you doing?
When will be announced the line up for the 3 continents Festival? This complete retrospective of Satyajit Ray films is really tempting me to make the trip over to Nantes this year.

btw, I just noticed Kore-eda's Hana will make Toronto.

Ouyang Feng a dit…

I'm fine, quite busy too. Planning to present & show some chinese films and working on other activities (related to cinema)...
Also I'm remaking a site on just chinese cinema at the moment.
Yes, they announced the retrospective last year. I can't say much for the festival of the 3 continents, but .... I guess this year I'm a bit more involved to it too.. :D

HarryTuttle a dit…

Cool. Are you going to run a Ciné-Club? And are you showing a film of yours at 3 Continents, or you're part of the organizing staff?
Let me know when your webiste is ready so I can check it out! I'm always interested in your opinion on chinese cinema. :)

Ouyang Feng a dit…

I've sent you a mail ;)
the website is online, but it's only the start for now, I guess there are a couple of texts.
