Updated With Lineup: The Cannes Film Festival has revealed its 2020 lineup, which includes new movies from Wes Anderson, Steve McQueen, Pixar, Francois Ozon, Naomi Kawase, Thomas Vinterberg and Maiwenn. Scroll down for lineup.
Despite its cancellation due to the coronavirus, Cannes has revealed the 56 movies chosen for its Official Selection as a badge of honor for the movies and in a bid to boost their distribution credentials. Details about the makeup of the lineup, including a record number of women directors and debuts, were revealed yesterday.
The festival didn’t differentiate movies by section this year, instead announcing all 56 movies in one list, only demarcating some by thematic category.
Artistic director Thierry Frémaux had previously said that Spike Lee’s Netflix film Da 5 Bloods would have played Out of Competition. Lee was set to chair the jury. The movie would have marked Netflix’s return to the festival after a three year absence,...

The Boston Underground is an institution of genre goodness in The People's Republic of Cambridge. Now in it's twenty second year Buff prepares to bring another lineup brimming with hits and delights. There are a few favorites in the mix this year. Miguel Llansó’s wonderfully odd and stupendously creative Jesus Shows You the Way to the Highway will be there. Tetsuya Nakashima’s It Comes promises to be a wild ride. There is also a rep screening of one of those first films that really stretched the laguage of film for me, Philip Ridley's The Passion of Darkly Noon. I would love to see that on the screen again. Other films that have made an impression on our team are Rose Glass' Saint Maud and micro...

There are few filmmakers in Japan whose work is quite as immediately recognizable as Nakashima Tetsuya. Even as he has evolved over the last fifteen years from the candy-colored pop explosion of Kamikaze Girls to his gritty 2015 thriller, World of Kanako, he maintains a unique visual and editorial style that makes his work compelling. With his latest film, It Comes, Nakashima tries his hand at horror and manages to utilize his perspective to tell a gripping, visceral, emotionally rich story that plays its card very close to the vest. Hideki (Tsumabuki Satoshi) is a boisterous salaryman who has just gotten married to Kana (Kuroki Haru), a quiet young woman who seems desperate to fit the role of the devoted wife.
