“Tree of Life” not in Cannes
It’s official. Terrence Malick’s “Tree of Life” will not compete for the Palme d’Or in Cannes.
That’s the word from the festival today, which said it had completed the official lineup with the following two:
“Chongqing Blues,” from Chinese film director Wang Xiashuai, and “Tender Son — The Frankenstein Project,” directed by Kornel Mundruczo of Hungary.
No mention of Malick.
In the Un Certain Regard sidebar, the festival added:
“Carancho,” from Argentinian director Pablo Trapero and “I Wish I Knew” by Jia Zhang Ke of China.
“The Autobiography of Nicolae Ceausescu,” directed by Andrei Ujica of Romania, will show out of competition.
Other additions include “Carlos,” directed by Olivier Assayas; “Countdown to Zero,” directed by Lucy Walker of the U.S.; and “5XFavela,” five short films from Brazilian directors.
