QUOTE Coppola trying for top prize at Cannes PARIS (AP) — Three rising American directors — Sofia Coppola, Richard Linklater and Richard Kelly — will compete against Cannes veterans including Pedro Almodovar and Nanni Moretti for the top prize at this year's festival in May. Coppola (Lost in Translation) will show her Marie-Antoinette biopic, starring Kirsten Dunset, organizers said Thursday. Linklater (Before Sunset) will offer up Fast Food Nation, and Kelly (Donnie Darko ) will screen his genre-bending musical-comedy-thriller Southland Tales. Moretti, whose Il Caimano (The Caiman) serves up a fierce critique of Premier Silvio Berlusconi and modern-day Italy, is the only director in competition who has already won Cannes' top prize. The Son's Room, about a family devastated by a child's death, took the coveted Palme d'Or in 2001. Spain's Almodovar, named best director at Cannes for All About My Mother in 1999, is back with Volver, starring *you know who* Cruz as a gorgeous, feisty young woman whose mother comes back from the dead to tie up loose ends. British moviemaker Ken Loach, a two-time winner of Cannes' jury prize, offers The Wind That Shakes the Barley, set during the Irish war of independence and civil war. Aki Kaurismaki of Finland, another Cannes regular, is back with Laitakaupungin Valot (Lights in the Dusk). When Kaurismaki won the grand prize, or second place, in 2002 for The Man Without a Past, he got laughs for his self-congratulatory acceptance speech: "First of all, I'd like to thank myself." Ron Howard's The Da Vinci Code will be the opening-night movie on May 17, but it is not competing for prizes. Hong Kong's Wong Kar-wai, director of In the Mood for Love, presides over the jury at the festival, which runs through May 28. Mexico has two films in competition: Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu (21 Grams ) will show Babel, starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett, and Guillermo Del Toro (Hellboy ) will show El Laberinto del Fauno (Pan's Labyrinth). Three homegrown films are up for the top prize: Selon Charlie (According to Charlie) by Nicole Garcia, Quand j'etais chanteur (When I Was a Singer) by Xavier Giannoli and Flandres (Flanders) by Bruno Dumont. Dumont caused a sensation at Cannes in 1999 with Humanity, a slow-moving, sexually explicit tale of a small-town cop investigating a sordid murder. It won second place and two acting prizes — though neither of the stars were professional actors. A French-Algerian director is competing under Algeria's flag. Rachid Bouchareb's Indigenes (Natives) tells the long-neglected story of World War II soldiers recruited from France's colonies. Other movies in competition include La Raison du Plus Faible (The Weakest Is Always Right) by Lucas Belvaux of Belgium; Iklimler by Nuri Bilge Ceylan of Turkey; L'Amico di Famiglia (The Family Friend) by Paolo Sorrentino of Italy; Juventude Em Marcha (Youth on the Move) by Pedro Costa of Portugal; and Summer Palace by Lou Ye of China. source here you can read the official selection FUR is nowhere to be seen  let's hope it'll be in venice... |

Oh man... I was actually JUST thinking about Cannes today and was getting pretty excited that Fur might be there. I'm getting so anxious to see it. Oh well, I guess we'll have to wait a little while longer...

Yes, I agree with archer...lets look on new possibilites. We never stop being optimistic here
 Thanks for the news GraceMM . I thought we already knew this a little while back. I took it off the main page under the Fur section at least but may have needed to remove it elsewhere.

They could have rejected it, it wouldn't be the first time a movie with good to great buzz have been rejected by Cannes only to be the one of the movies that is the most talked about that year. Vera Drake was rejected. I believe there are still other sections of the festival yet to announced or have they all been announced?
