Michelangelo Frammartino's Le Quattro Volte (aka The Four Times), one of treasured discoveries at Cannes this year is among those selected in small but sweet Visions section -- a grouping of films that are definitely bending the narrative form. Other noticeable titles include Wang Bing's The Ditch, Ance director Federico Veiroj's A Useful Life and what should make for an interesting evening in Vincent Gallo's Promises Written in Water. Here are the selected titles, several began their life at Cannes this year.
I think back to her body of work with films that I've admired but not always had affection in Chocolat, I Can't Think, Beau Travail, Trouble Every Day (featuring Vincent Gallo) and L'intrus - and I think half of these never found a distributor. The Cinema Guild are thinking along the lines of those who gave 35 Shots of Rum tons of critical praise and have snapped up the rights to the drama. Expect a Fall release.
