40 Movies We Hope to See at Cannes 2021, from Jane Campion to Claire Denis IndieWire 5 days ago
Sorry, Oscars: For decades, the Official Selection of the Cannes Film Festival has been the ultimate source of anticipation by movie lovers worldwide. No festival on Earth has commanded the same blend of cinephilia and red carpet glamour, as films from some of the most revered directors working today announce their arrival in front of the world’s most discerning audience.
But will that audience show up for the 2021 edition, which has been pushed from its usual May dates to early July? After last year’s festival was canceled due to the pandemic and Cannes could only announce an amorphous list of films, the plan for this year’s edition remains an open question. Though the festival is messaging a full-steam-ahead approach, France remains on lockdown and it’s unclear whether the situation will improve enough for a traditional festival gathering.

Benedetta Trailer Arrives, Director Paul Verhoeven Returns with an Erotic Nun Drama
Veteran director Paul Verhoeven looks to make his return with an erotic religious thriller Benedetta.
After five years away, moviegoers will see the return of veteran director Paul Verhoeven with his new erotic-thriller,
Benedetta. A trailer has been released, and the thriller will premiere at this year s Cannes Film Festival. The drama stars Virginie Efira in the title role of Bendetta, a nun that begins an affair with another nun. The picture is produced by Saïd Ben Saïd and will feature composer Anne Dudley. You can check out the first look footage ahead of the movie s debut later this year.
The Commotions, Cole told Ross, started off trying to make music in the same vein as Scritti Politti or the Style Council. “I was just no good at it,” Cole admitted. “I definitely was trying to be a male Aretha Franklin.” The mind boggles. It was only when the band wrote Are You Ready to be Heartbroken in a day in the studio and realised it was much better than the song they had been working on for ages that they started to get a glimpse of what their first album, Rattlesnakes, could be. Throw in Anne Dudley’s gorgeous string arrangements and you have one of the albums of the 1980s. Personally, I only have to hear the opening notes of Forest Fire from that album, and I’m immediately swept back to a first floor student flat in Cowane Street in Stirling. I’m also reminded of how music can make you feel young and old at the same time.
