Cannes competition

[Tom Mes]

The list of press agents on the Cannes website 
(http://www.festival-cannes.com) mentions French sales company Celluloid 
Dreams as the contact for Kobayashi's BASHING, which would explain a lot as 
they hold quite a powerful position in the French film world.
Does anybody have any information on the film (even a Japanese title)?

The site also shows that Seijun Suzuki's OPERETTA TANUKI GOTEN / PRINCESS 
RACCOON will be screened out of competition, which is rather more exciting 
news.

No Japanese presence in the Un Certain Regard sidebar, though. Announcements 
of the parallel sections, the Critics' Week and the Directors' Fortnight, 
will be made this Thursday and next Tuesady, respectively.
