### Latest
|
|
|
|
**15:10** Lars von Trier accepts decision of the Cannes film festival to **ban
|
|
him over remarks he made about Adolf Hitler**. "Lars accepts whatever the
|
|
festival directors want to do to punish him," said Meta Foldager, one of the
|
|
producers of "Melancholia", which remains in competition for the Palme d'Or.
|
|
"He fully accepts that... It's up to the festival to decide what is good for
|
|
the festival," she said, adding that von Trier was "fine and doing his work"
|
|
promoting the film.
|
|
|
|
**14:55 **... and prize for best shindig this year? Via Red Granite, a big US
|
|
film financing company.
|
|
|
|
You could smell the money burning. The music was by (rapper) Pharrell Williams
|
|
opening for Kanye West and Jamie Foxx came on to perform 'Gold Digger' with
|
|
him and **Leonardo DiCaprio **and Jon Hamm and Bradley Cooper were there and
|
|
it was just completely decadent - wine flowing everywhere, fantastic food and
|
|
fireworks.
|
|
|
|
**14:50** Scott Roxborough of **The Hollywood Reporter** has been talking
|
|
about great Cannes parties. The best was a decade ago, as he recalls:
|
|
|
|
_I think it was 2001, it was 'Moulin Rouge' and it was just phenomenal. They
|
|
had put up a big circus tent, the music was Fatboy Slim and on the dancefloor
|
|
it was Nicole Kidman, Ewan McGregor and the whole cast with the can-can
|
|
dancers. The party was so hopping that (Australian media mogul) Rupert Murdoch
|
|
stood up on a chair just so he could get a better look at what was happening.
|
|
_
|
|
|
|
**13:03** **Lars von Trier latest**: the dierctor has been declared "persona
|
|
non grata" by the Cannes Film Festival for saying that he sympathizes with
|
|
Adolf Hitler. We are unsure whether that implies that his film
|
|
[**Melancholia**][6] (five stars from this paper's reviewer) will be taken out
|
|
of competition. [Full report here][8]
|
|
|
|
**12:56 **More film news for you from **David Gritten **
|
|
|
|
_![][9] As Cannes enters the final stretch, news of another festival worth
|
|
attending - Venice, which begins on August 31. Confirmed films include David
|
|
Cronenberg's A Dangerous Method (Freud meets Jung, with Viggo Mortensen,
|
|
Michael Fassbender and Keira Knightley); Roman Polanski's Carnage; British
|
|
director Steve McQueen's Shame, Michael Winterbottom's reworking of Tess of
|
|
the d'Urbevilles, and Andrea Arnold's new adpatation of Wuthering Heights. _
|
|
|
|
**OK, book me a gondola..... **
|
|
|
|
**12:42 **By virtue of its disturbing subject matter - the revenge-killings of
|
|
John Bunting, the man behind the so-called "bodies-in-barrels murders" of the
|
|
late '90s - Cannes has found 2011's (albeit Australian) answer to Antichrist.
|
|
Directed by Australian Justin Kurzel, **Snowtown** screened as part of
|
|
Critics' Week although we're told a large chunk of the audience had to leave
|
|
early. Presumably to vomit/faint/lie down in a dark room. Those who did stay
|
|
to the end, however,"clapped loudly".
|
|
|
|
**![Twitter][10] [Ben_Clay][11] **_Richard Wilkins gives SNOWTOWN 0 out of 5.
|
|
If that's not a good enough reason to see it, then I don't know what is._

|
|
vengeance? Poor co-star Jan Cornet tries the old chin trick to give him an
|

|
|
|
|
**12:11 **No ecstatic noises coming out of the Almodovar screenings so far,
|
|
but some tepid and rather noncommittal recommendations. LOVEFiLM, the postage
|
|
DVD people, are loving it
|
|
|
|
**![Twitter][10] [LOVEFiLM][13] **_We loved Almodovar's The Skin I Inhabit.
|
|
Great melodrama with wonderful performance from Antonio Banderas_[ ][14]
|
|
|
|
**11:45 **Pedro Almodovar shows off his Masters Golf casual wear at the Cannes
|
|
Film Festival
|
|
|
|
**11:30** Among the Short Film Corner contenders this year is **The Sea is All
|
|
I Know**, directed by Jordan Bayne. It boasts perhaps the biggest star of any
|
|
Cannes short: Academy Award winner Melissa Leo, a friend of Bayne's, in a
|
|
seaside tale of an estranged couple plunged into spiritual crisis by the
|
|
imminent death of their daughter.
|
|
|
|
Oscar-winning Melissa Leo stars in a short film at Cannes called The Sea Is
|
|
All I Know
|
|
|
|
**11:24** Back to Cannes. There are With 3,085 registered participants in the
|
|
**Short Film Corner**. These films, lasting anything from 35 minutes to 60
|
|
seconds, are shown in digital viewing booths.
|
|
|
|
It costs £85 for a short to be considered for Cannes. One short per film-maker
|
|
per year is the limit, submissions can be sent over the Internet, and anyone
|
|
rejected gets their money back.
|
|
|
|
**11:12** Great surname, by the way . . . Winding Refn. He's married to
|
|
actress Liv Corfixen and is the half-brother of Danish singer Kasper Winding.
|
|
Who played with **Frank Zappa**. Ok, have gone off on a Winding Road.
|
|
|
|
**11:11** One for the car chase fan. A new movie called **Drive** adapted from
|
|
a novel by James Sallis is being shown at Cannes.
|
|
|
|
The main star is Ryan Gosling who plays a Hollywood stuntman who moonlights as
|
|
a driver-for-hire for the Los Angeles underworld.
|
|
|
|
And he has to help a damsel in distress - played by Carey Mulligan. One funny
|
|
twist. It's directed by Denmark's Nicolas Winding Refn, who cannot drive.
|
|
Winding Refn told _Screen magazine_: "I've tried eight times to get a licence
|
|
and I've been in three car crashes. Maybe I'm car-phobic."
|
|
|
|
The film is in the running for this year's Palme d'Or.
|
|
|
|
Carey Mulligan, who starred in An Education, will appear in the new movie
|
|
Drive
|
|
|
|
**11:03** Stanley Kubrick's widow Christiane and her brother Jan Harlan, who
|
|
worked on many of the director's films, are in Cannes today for a special
|
|
screening of_ **A Clockwork Orange**_.
|
|
|
|
Malcolm McDowell, who starred in the controversial 1971 film, based on the
|
|
novel by **Anthony Burgess**, will also be there.
|
|
|
|
Leeds-born McDowell played the psychopathic delinquent Alex who delights in
|
|
classical music and sexual violence.
|
|
|
|
Kubrick withdrew it from British cinemas after speculation in the press it had
|
|
inspired copycat acts of violence and it was only released on video and DVD in
|
|
the UK after his death in 1999.
|
|
|
|
It used to be that the only way anyone could view it was on a fuzzy DVD. But
|
|
it's lost its power to shock. To mark its 40th anniversary, a newly restored
|
|
version will be unveiled at Cannes, and released shortly after on Blu-ray.
|
|
|
|
So: Banned. Dangerous. Available. Feted. Blue-ray. It's journey into
|
|
mainstream respectability is complete.
|
|
|
|
Malcolm McDowell in Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange
|
|
|
|
**10:50** Good morning and welcome to day nine at Cannes where we can look
|
|
forward to first reactions to **Pedro Almodovar's** potentially very creepy
|
|
and surreal new revenge film about a plastic surgeon and a rapist. Sticking to
|
|
a theme then, it is also Stanley Kubbrick day in the Classic Film category,
|
|
with a screening of **Clockwork Orange**
|
|
|
|
**In competition** Almodovar has not yet won the Palme d'Or, though he took
|
|
best director at Cannes in 1999 for_ All About My Mother. _Here's the trailer
|
|
for the Spanish director's **La Piel Que Habito** (_The Skin I Live In) _which
|
|
is currently a serious contender for the award at odds 7/1 to win
