Japan in Cannes

[Mark Nornes]

The Cannes lineup was announced. 

The only Japanese film in competition is directed by Kiarostami, sorry to say. 

Un Certain Regard will future Wakamatsu's regrettably titled 11.25 The Day He Chose His Own Fate. 

Finally, there is a midnight screening of The Legend of Love & Sincerity, by Miike. 

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.
