Film in Pictures: Lee Chang-dong’s Poetry
Here are the images (and Korean poster one-sheet) for Lee Chang-dong's Poetry. His 6th film will be in Cannes' Main Competition and will be known as the project that brought Jeong-hie Yun out of retirement. The popular Korean actress retired in 1974 and moved to Paris.
Pablo Larrain and Patricio Guzman are this Year’s Chilean Representation in Cannes?
I'm convinced that Larrain will once again be at the festival this year with Post Mortem, a story that is also juxtaposed against Pinochet's early rule.

Film in Pictures: Andrucha Waddington’s Lope
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's Biutiful will receive a Main Comp spot, and keeping with the Amores Perros connection, we might get a first glimpse of Gael Garcia Bernal in Iciar Bollain's Even the Rain, but the one title that hasn't been tossed around as a likely candidate for the croisette is Andrucha Waddington's Lope.
