64th Cannes Film Festival (2011) Un Certain Regard


The Un Certain Regard section of the Cannes Film Festival is for recognition of young talent and encouragement of innovative and daring works.  The winner receives a 30,000 Euro grant to assist in the films distribution.  Two time Palme d'Or winner, Serbian director Emir Kusturica will serve as President of the Un Certain Regard Jury.

This year's lineup has 19 films from a wide range of directors, two of them are first films.  I am especially looking forward to Hadewijch director Bruno Dumont's Hors Satan billed as a supernatural thriller set in the Pas de Calais region of France, Romanian New Wave director Catalin Mitilescu's second effort Loverboy, and Na Hong-jin's action thriller Yellow Sea the follow-up to his incredible first film 2008's The Chaser.

I guess I'll start with the Asian films and move on from there. Looks like a good batch.
