but how many more times must we round the enjyo kosai poll . . . er so to
speak.</DIV>

a big day for Korea, since both Im and Hong got spots in the main competition,
and they are the only East Asian directors to do so. Weerasethakul's film was
relegated to a Special Screening, a bit of a surprise perhaps after his recent
Palme d'Or win.<BR><BR>Mark R. Harris<BR><BR>

<DIV>The only Japanese film in competition is directed by Kiarostami, sorry to

<DIV>Un Certain Regard will future Wakamatsu's regrettably titled <I>11.25 The

<DIV>Finally, there is a midnight screening of <I>The Legend of Love &
Sincerity, </I>by Miike. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Not a good year for Japan. Other Asian directors that got slots include
Apichatpong Weerasethakul, You Ye, Ashim Ahluwalia, Im Sang-soo, and Hong
Sang-soo. </DIV>
