Movie news: Coens, Cannes
The American presence at this year's Cannes Film Festival is sure to elicit discreet little gasps from the locals. Five of this year's 21 competition films are from the U.S.: Zodiac, No Country For Old Men, Death Proof, We Own The Night, and Paranoid Park. Three of the filmmakers involved have won the festival's Palme d'Or award in previous years: Quentin Tarantino, Gus Van Sant, and the Coen brothers. (Variety)
