I'm currently working on my graduation paper, which is due in a week, so all of my updates will probably be in the form of Cannes updates or DVD announcements, just to let you know. I do have a couple of DVD announcements to make... so here goes: Strand will release two films in July: Lee Kang-sheng's Help Me Eros (which is quite good) on the 22nd and Ekachai Uekrongtham's Pleasure Factory , set in...

The first official film announcement from Cannes is a juicy one. The Good, The Bad, and The Weird is there screening out of competition (although Fernando Meirelles Blindness is curiously absent at this point), as well as new films from Atom Egoyan , Nuri Bilge Ceylan and wkw ‘s Ashes of Time Redux ! Also, a very big event would be Steven Soderbergh ‘s work-in-progress on Che Guevara which combines...
