The 2015 Cannes Film Festival lineup was announced this morning and it's quite impressive as it includes several titles I'd be rushing to line up for, which makes my not going for the second year in a row all the more frustrating.
Titles I'd be most excited to see including the new Jacques Audiard movie Dheepan, the new film from Yorgos Lanthimos The Lobster and Denis Villeneuve's Sicario. Matteo Garrone's The Tale of Tales is obviously an exciting title as are Macbeth starring Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard, Carol from Todd Haynes and Youth from Paolo Sorrentino.
Gus Van Sant will arrive on the Croisette with The Sea of Trees starring Matthew McConaughey, Pixar will arrive with Inside Out, Woody Allen's Irrational Man will screen and we already knew Mad Max: Fury Road would screen.
I won't lie, seeing the lineup had me considering looking at the bank statement to see if I could somehow make it work, but hopefully the Toronto Film Festival is just as exciting as this line-up. Give it a peek below and stay tuned as I'm sure trailers and first looks at all of these films will be arriving soon.
The 2015 Cannes Film Festival runs from May 13-24.
