Scott Foundas
Chandor, who made an impressive debut with Margin Call in 2011, ventures far from Wall Street — and dry land — for this followup, starring Robert Redford as a man lost at sea in a movie that purports to have even less spoken dialogue than “The Artist.” “Life of Pi” minus the tiger? Ideal viewing for Cannes’ beachside Cinema de la Plage? Only time will tell.
“Behind the Candelabra” (Steven Soderbergh)
Though it will premiere on HBO while the festival is still in full swing, it’s still hard not to be excited by the prospect of this long-planned Liberace biopic from retiring renaissance man Soderbergh, with Michael Douglas and Matt Damon” (two actors Soderbergh has made excellent use of in the past) surrounded by Rob Lowe, Dan Aykroyd and Debbie Reynolds. Bring on the sequins!
“Grand Central” (Rebecca Zlotowski)
With its raw, feral performance by »

Ryan Gosling gives and gets more beatings in two new trailers for his gritty drama Only God Forgives. It’s in the same vein as previous promotional materials, which paint his reunion with Drive helmer Nicolas Winding Refn as a bloody tale of revenge. The film centers on Julian (Gosling), an American exile living in Thailand. He’s running a boxing ring as a front for a drug business, and along the way his brother is murdered. Story: Ryan Gosling: Indie Megastar Who Asks to Get His Ass Kicked Julian’s response to the murder doesn’t sit well with his mother (Kristin Scott

Yes, so the Cannes Film Festival lineup dropped this morning and there is a lot to talk about (and we'll be getting to that soon) but there are two things we know: Nicolas Winding Refn's "Only God Forgives" will be there, and it's still one of our most anticipated movies in the south of France. And even better, hot on the heels of the Cannes announcement this morning comes two brand new international trailer that is just as eye-poppingly badass as the first teaser. The French trailer forgoes the "Tur Kue Kwam Fun (Music Box Version)"-driven American spot and gives up a bit more of the actual plot, and all we can say is: Kristin Scott Fucking Thomas. Playing the matriarch of a drug empire, she looks to be an absolute powerhouse in the role, with Ryan Gosling doing his mostly silent thing as a man (forced?) to »

Ryan Gosling and Drive director Nicolas Winding Refn are back together with the first trailer for Only God Forgives. Like his previous collaboration with Refn, Gosling once again seems to be playing a tough guy of few words, in a film the star recently told The Hollywood Reporter was "much more extreme" than Drive. Gosling plays Julian, an exiled American running a boxing club in Thailand as a front for a drug business. Story: Ryan Gosling: Indie Megastar Who Asks to Get His Ass Kicked The trailer for the crime drama starts with a voiceover from Gosling’s mother (Kristin Scott

Creepy classroom voyeurism gives this poised French drama the promise of a big payoff, but it all ebbs away
François Ozon's new movie is a black-comic psychological drama with poise and self-possession. Featuring Fabrice Luchini and Kristin Scott Thomas, how could it have anything else? It begins grippingly, like something by Claude Chabrol, and yet the film's suspense begins to leak before the end and the comic and serious sides don't quite mesh. At one stage, there is a visit to the cinema to see Match Point – and, in fact, In the House does oddly come to resemble a goodish late-period Woody Allen. Luchini plays Germain, a high-school teacher of French literature; his wife, Jeanne, (Scott Thomas) runs a gallery, featuring bizarre and sexually explicit conceptual art. Germain is bored and depressed with his job, but is one day galvanised by the creative-writing assignments being handed in by talented »

The English Patient star talks about her big breakthrough, bad reviews – and why her worst performance is always screening on cable TV
What first drew you to acting?
Wanting to be somebody else. As a child, I played dress-up with great conviction. I'd walk to the village shop wearing my mother's clothes, pretending I was somebody different.
What was your big breakthrough?
There are the obvious ones, like The English Patient or Four Weddings. But on a more personal level, it was when I played Bérénice at the Avignon festival [in 2001]. I hadn't done any theatre since drama school. God knows what the performance was like, but to be able to go out on stage independent of any machinery was incredibly powerful.
Do you suffer for your art?
Frequently – though I'm talking "suffer" in inverted commas. You do get lonely; you're torn in every direction. And if you've had a long career, »
