Yesterday, 14 of May, 2014, the Cannes Film Festival 2014 opened with the premier screening of Grace of Monaco (2014). The film was booed by critics’ and audiences alike, for inaccurate portrayal of the famed Princess of Monaco and Hollywood royalty. The movie is out of the competition though. But am still keen on checking out this movie.
The 67th annual Cannes Film Festival is running from 14th to 25th of May, 2014. The jury for the main competition is headed by New Zealand film director Jane Campion. Other members of the jury include, American film director Sofia Coppola, American actor Willem Dafoe and Mexican actor & film director Gael García Bernal among others. The winning film in the Un Certain Regard section should be announced on 23rd of May, 2014. The winner of the Palme d’Or will be announced on 24th of May, 2014 (due to European Parliament elections taking place on 25th May 2014). The festival poster features Italian actor Marcello Mastroianni from Federico Fellini’s 1963 film 8½. Another great movie am yet to watch.
Looking forward to seeing who wins the Palme d’Or this year.
