The 2016 selection for the Cannes Film festival is, well, pure Cannes – a mixture of established auteurs such as Almodovar, Ken Loach and the Dardenne brothers, as well as no less than 5 first films, and two films each from Romania and Israel. The opening night screening (so not competing!) is Woody Allen’s CAFÉ SOCIETY.
Can’t hep wondering what Paul Verheoven is doing in there – but we shall find out soon enough!
