Cannes president Thierry Fremaux did say that the 'official selection is not complete yet' and currently six films are missing, so expect to see a few more added to the line-up before the start of the fest in May.
This looks like a fascinating line-up this year, with a few films I'm excited to see, and a whole bunch that I've never heard of before. Last year had as strong of a selection, including Inglourious Basterds, Fish Tank, Un Prophete, The White Ribbon, Thirst, and the controversial Antichrist (and I was there when it all began). I'm really looking forward to heading out to France in May and I will be joined by first-timer Peter Sciretta from SlashFilm as well as Cannes veteran and my very good friend Eric Lavallee from IONCinema. We'll do our best to bring you the finest coverage we can straight from Cannes 2010! Anything catch your eye?
