With the Official In Competition lineup and Critics’ Week films announced, today brings us the Quinzaine des Réalisateurs (Director’s Fortnight) with a rich balance of established film makers like Paul Schrader (who closes with Dog Eat Dog, which reunites Willam Dafoe and Nicholas Cage) and Alejandro Jodorowsky with his newest Endless Poetry to bright, new film makers like Claudio Giovannesi and Laura Poitras. Poitras, an Oscar winner for her doc Snowden, is back with another high profile documentary of an information leaker, this time Wikileaks’ Julian Assange.
After winning with his most recent film, No, Pablo Larraín returns to the Director’s Fortnight with Neruda (also starring Gael Bernal Garcia) about the famed Nobel Prize winner. The 18-film lineup will run concurrently with the other areas of the festival, from May 12-22.
