Cannes 2009 Day 4 Offerings: Audiard, Hong Sangsoo, Ang Lee
I’m looking forward to my three screenings today, beginning with an 8:30 start to Jacques Audiard’s two plus hour film, followed by certified mumblecore card-carrying members in the Safdie brothers and their newest picture in the Quinzaine, and I’ll make a trip to the Bazin theater for a day after screening to the next piece from Camera d’or winning director of 12:08 East of Bucharest and a tale about corruption in his homeland of Romania.

Here is what is playing in the other sections.
IONCINEMA.com Schedule: A Prophet, Go Get Some Rosemary and next day screening of Police, Adjective.
Main Comp: Ang Lee‘s Taking Woodstock and Jacques Audiard‘s A Prophet on the menu today, I can’t help but feel that Audiard’s new film might come across as The Alchemist immersed into a gangster worl behind bars. Ne Te Retourne Pas gets a midnight showing and out of comp — looks like a gimmick-like thriller that I’m passing on.
Un Certain Regard: Samson and Delilah and Bong Joon-ho‘s Mother.
Director’s Fortnight: Hong Sangsoo‘s Like You Know It All, La Merditude des choses from Félix van Groeningen and returnees to the section: Josh and Benny Safdie’s Go Get Some Rosemary.
Critic’s Week: A special screening of Albert Pereira-Lazaro and Emmanuel Klotz’s Round da Way and Nassim Amaouche‘s Adieu Gary.
