It’s that time of year again and after missing this year’s Cannes Film Festival, this will serve as my first and only time on the festival circuit since last year’s Toronto Film Festival and my screening schedule is finally coming together.
To give you a better idea of what reviews to look forward to and approximately when you can expect them I’m posting my estimated schedule below along with a list of the six films from the festival that I’ve already seen and will be posting the reviews during the fest. You’ll notice on the schedule there are a few films listed in bold red text, these are the screenings with scheduling conflicts. So if you see a film listed twice or in bold red text that’s the reason.
Now let’s have a look…

All told I could be looking at seeing somewhere around 23 movies, which combined with the six I’ve already seen is damned impressive. The likelihood of me seeing that many is a little slim as fatigue always sets in, but it’s nice to dream… at least as I’m typing this on my way to Chicago right now… Stay tuned, there are a lot of reviews to come.
