Almodovar, Malick films among 19 selected for Cannes competition

Spanish director Pedro Almodovar’s “The Skin That I Inhabit” and British director Terrence Malick’s “Tree of Life” are among 19 films competing at the 64th Cannes Film Festival, organisers said Thursday.
Danish filmmaker Lars Von Trier’s “Melancholia” was also selected from a total 1,715 films watched, festival head of selection Thierry Fremaux told journalists alongside festival president Gilles Jacob “We have a special thought for Japan this year, but also for Tunisia and Egypt,” Jacob said,
adding that Egypt would be the festival’s special guest at its 64 edition which begins in the Mediterranean resort on May 12.
Steering the Palme d’Or jury this year will be US actor and director Robert de Niro, while South Korean director Boon Joon-Ho will chair the panel that picks the winner of the Camera d’Or prize for best first film.
Italian cinema legend Bernardo Bertolucci, whose silver screen classics include “Last Tango in Paris” and “The Last Emperor,” will meanwhile be given an honourary Palme d’Or for his life work.
Woody Allen’s latest comedy “Midnight in Paris” – in which French first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy has a bit part – will open the festival, and Gus Van Sant’s teen drama “Restless” will kick off the Un Certain Regard screenings.
Last year Thailand’s Apichatpong Weerasethakul took the Palme d’Or with a surreal and hypnotic reincarnation tale set in the jungle, titled “Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives”.
