Cannes Film Festival Begins Tomorrow

The famous French film festival finally begins, and we'll get to hear the first reviews of some highly anticipated movies.

Here's the ones that I really want to hear about.

-- Babel (#1 on my anticipated film list of the year, by the writer and director of 21 Grams and Amorres Perros)
-- Marie-Antionette (directed by Sofia Coppola, responsible for my best picture of 2003)
-- Volver (directed by Pedro Almodovar, who made Talk to Her and All About My Mother, among others)
-- A Scanner Darkly (directed by Richard Linklater, a cartoon adaptation of sci-fi author Phillip K. Dick)
-- Fast Food Nation (adaptation of the famous book, also by Richard LinkLater)
-- Paris, Je T'aime (combination of short movies by several regarded directors and starring some very good actors)
-- An Inconvenient Truth (Al Gore documentary about the environment)

There are others I am not mentioning, but it should be interesting once the reviews start coming in. Also some films are shown "in competition" and "out of competition", so out of the above, only Babel, Marie-Antionette, Volver, and Fast Food Nation are eligible for prizes.

For the complete list of in-competition films, take a look here.
