Info Post

It's been a long few weeks, profiling every director in Competition at this year's Cannes Film Festival, but I hope you enjoyed reading and maybe learned a thing or two.

The festival kicked off today with Moonrise Kingdom, which earned mostly positive reviews. Yousry Nasrallah's After that Battle also screened, but no one seems to have much good to say about that one.

Here's a rundown of all my Cannes posts this month:

I'm a little burnt out as far as Cannes stuff goes, at the moment, so I'm not sure exactly how extensive my mid-festival coverage will be, but I'll definitely be back at the end of the festival with a wrap-up post, and I can unreservedly recommend you to check out Bonjour Tristesse over the next ten days or so for great Cannes coverage (and beyond, of course, for lots of other great coverage).

Before I close this one out, a few quick and fun Cannes top fives, as well as a few predictions:
