Of course, all the audience's attention will be riveted to the main competition program films that will compete for the main prize of the festival "Palme d'Or", but I also wish to draw attention to the films presented in the program "Un Certain Regard" and "Midnight show».





"Star map»
Director: David Cronenberg

Comedy and psychological drama, which employs half a dozen of Hollywood's brightest stars, promises to reveal to us all the hidden secrets and the secrets of this very Hollywood. Who of us is not curious to know what is really living The Dream Factory, when the spotlight goes out?

The picture presented in the main competition program, and this is perhaps the main achievement of the Russian cinema in recent years.





"Lost River»
Director: Ryan Gosling

Ryan Gosling's directorial debut in the fantasy genre with Eva Mendes in the title role. The plot is convoluted and unordinary film (though it is not uncommon for films of this genre) and tells about the journeys into secret worlds. The film represented the second largest program Cannes "Un Certain Regard" and, according to knowledgeable people, has all the chances to win. By the way, Gosling in the movie did not play, so his admirers have to settle for his directorial, scenario and the producer talents.





"Two days, one night»
Directed by: Jean-Pierre Dardenne and Luc Dardenne

Owners of several "Palme d'Or" and a dozen less important film festival award Dardenne brothers will present to the audience a picture with more than mundane plot: to keep a job, a woman needs to persuade his colleagues to abandon bonuses.

The film employed Steve Carell (sacrificed for the sake of appearance roles), Channing Tatum and Mark Ruffalo. Judging by the trailer, Carell for the first time managed to create on-screen a spectacular dramatic fashion, but due to the fact that the premiere of the film was postponed from December 2013 to 2014, the film was out of the race for the "Oscar» 2014.
