Cannes 2010 Lineup Now Complete (Sorry, No Malick Or Tarr); Alexandre Desplat Joins The Jury

The Cannes Film Festival have officially announced the remaining titles in the completed festival lineup, and for anyone holding out hope that heavyweights Bela Tarr or Terrence Malick might make a last minute appearance, those dreams have been dashed.

Filling out the last two slots of the In Competition lineup are “Chongqing Blues,” by Chinese director Wang Xiaoshuaï, which has been upgraded from its previous slot in the Un Certain Regard programming, and “Tender Son – The Frankenstein Project” by Hungarian director Kornél Mundruczo. This now puts the complete In Competition lineup at 18 films, down from the traditional 20 of past years (maybe they’re still holding out hope for those last two spots?).

As we previously reported Olivier Assayas’ “Carlos” will be given an Out Of Competition screening and despite some reports to the contrary, it will be the full five hour plus version of the film. Also receiving an Out Of Competition screening is Andrei Ujică’s “The Autobiography Of Nicolae Ceausescu.”

While we previously speculated Argentinian film “Carancho” by Pablo Trapero might be given be given a competition slot, it has instead been added to the Un Certain Regard programming. Joining him will be Jia Zhang Ke’s latest, “I Wish I Knew.”

The Brazilian omnibus “5XFavela” directed by Carlos Diegues and featuring amateur directors from Rio’s slums will get a Special Screening as will Lucy Walker’s documentary on the nuclear arms race, “Countdown To Zero.”

Finally esteemed composer and Playlist favorite, Alexandre Desplat, is the final member of the Jury of the 63rd edition of the Festival de Cannes headed by Tim Burton.
