Cannes Update

I can't say that I've heard a lot about the films at Cannes. As I said before, Waltz with Bichar has gotten some great reviews. Leonera, Un Conte de Noel, The Three Monkeys an Linha de Passe have all gotten some good reviews. But at this point there isn't a clear frontrunner for any of the awards. We still have a week to go and many more films. It is appearant that Blindness will probably not be in the running.

In the non-competition category the animated Kung Fu Panda has gotten some good press. Woody Allen's Vicky Cristina Barcelona has gotten mainly very positive notices. And Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz in particular are supposed to be terrific. I am not surprised. I can't wait to see this film.
