The 61st Cannes Film Festival, led by jury president Sean Penn, is starting to shape up. Does it seem very last minute for a festival starting in three weeks? It is. This year more than any other was marked by last minute crises over if and when certain films would be finished. Clint Eastwood and Steven Soderbergh contributed to the suspense; their entries were confirmed only hours before the announcement yesterday. And we still don’t know which films will be opening and closing the festival!<\/p>\n

Here’s the list of the films in competition:<\/p>\n

“U\u00e7 Maymun” (The Three Monkeys): Turkey: Nuri Bilge Ceylan
\n“Le silence de Lorna”: Belgium: Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne
\n“Changeling”: USA: Clint Eastwood
\n“Un Conte de Noel”: France: Arnaud Desplechin
\n“Adoration”: Canada: Atom Egoyan
\n“Waltz with Bashir”\/ Israel: Ari Folman
\n“La Frontiere de l’Aube”: France: Philippe Garrel
\n“Gomorra”: Italy: Matteo Garrone
\n“24 City”: China: Jia Zhangke
\n“Synecdoche, New York”: USA: Charlie Kaufman
\n“My Magic”: Singapore: Eric Khoo
\n“L Mujer sin Cabeza”: Argentina: Lucrecia Martel
\n“Serbis”: Philippines: Brillante Mendoza
\n“Delta”: Hungary: Kornel Mundruczo
\nLinha de Passe”: Brazil: Walter Salles and Daniela Thomas
\n“Che”: USA: Steven Soderbergh
\nIl Divo” : Italy: Paolo Sorrentino
\n“Leonera”: Argentina: Pablo Trapero
\n“The Palermo Shooting”: Germany: Wim Wenders<\/p>\n
