Indiewire
lists some films they think would make worthy additions to the Cannes lineup. It's going to be a good year in film.
”Restless,” directed by Gus Van Sant (USA)
We haven’t seen Van Sant’s work since his Oscar-winning Harvey Milk biopic, and his new film has an intriguing premise that makes us wonder how he’ll pull it off in typical Van Sant fashion. In “Restless,” a teenager (Henry Hopper) sees ghosts, visits funerals, and falls in love with a girl with a terminal disease (Mia Waskikowska). Together, the two teens develop a relationship with the ghost of a Japanese kamikaze pilot (Ryo Kase). The film is the first script from Jason Lew, who wrote the play on which the film is based.
”Take This Waltz,” directed by Sarah Polley (Canada)
Sarah Polley’s directorial follow-up to “Away From Her,” “Take This Waltz” is a romantic comedy that stars Michelle Williams as a woman torn between her loving husband (Seth Rogen) and a sexy new dude she meets during a “steamy Toronto summer” (Luke Kirby). The film finished shooting last fall and was selling at AFM. The fest is definitely a fan of Ms. Polley (she was on the jury a few years back), but “Waltz” might be a bit light for the fest. That said, the script (also written by Polley) made the Blacklist a few years back and is truly fantastic, so if it doesn’t win over critics (and buyers, as the film does not have a U.S. distributor) in Cannes, it surely will come September, where it will be a much more perfect fit for a Toronto premiere.
