Cannes opens with The Great Gatsby, but the novelty is already off

Zou Gilles Jacob, de directeur van het filmfestival van Cannes, het als een buitenkansje zien of een knieval voor Amerikaanse studio’s? Dat Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby woensdag de openingsfilm is betekent zeker spektakel en veel aandacht. Maar het is geen wereldpremière,

Subtle and playful Ernest et Célestine big winner of Cinekid

It is rare for the same film to receive both jury and (children's) audience awards at the Cinekid festival. But about the subtle and sparkling French animated film Ernest et Célestine everyone agreed this time.

Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives, de verrassende Gouden Palm-winnaar van dit jaar, krijgt komend weekend zijn eerste Nederlandse vertoning op het nieuwe festival World Cinema Amsterdam.
