msc45 Audience loves new silent film The Artist by Michel Hazanavicius fantastic recreation of silent era cinema #shedcff
msc45
Packed auditorium and much anticipation for the new Dardennes film #shedcff lockerz.com/
msc45 Dardennes pic should be strong contender for their 3rd Palme d'or - perfectly formed morality tale #shedcff
msc45 Good day notching up 5 film-all very strong, good to catch Mika Kuarismaki's Mama Africa - great documentary about miriam makaba.#shedcff
msc45 Never seen such a scramble to get into a 830am screening - crazy but it is the Malick #shedcff
msc45 The Malick - oh dear ! #shedcff
msc45 'a grand folly' covers it -many boos in auditorium. He's found god and wants us to see 'him' everywhere. Nat hist footage is great #shedcff
msc45
You can feel the tension in the faithful RT @TimeOutFilm: Cannes review: Terrence Malick's THE TREE OF LIFE: bit.ly/
msc45 Re nonsense about Malick redefining language of cinema - Stan Brakage did it years ago without pomposity, pretension or dinosaurs #shedcff
msc45 If you thought Isabelle Huppert's character was lil bit bonkers in The Piano Teacher you should meet Marian in Code Blue #shedcff
msc45 Forgot to say that Beeb Bristol Nat History unit shot n supplied amazing footage for Malik's Tree of Life #shedcff
msc45 RT @JasonCritic: French bloke in next seat turns to me during Terrence Malick #Cannes film and says: "Il avait fume quoi?" #shedcff
msc45 Final comment -The Tree of Life would have benefited from Beefheart's Sun Zoom Spark on soundtrack rather than obvious classical #shedcff
msc45 Jeez, how many fromage et jambon baguettes can one guy eat ?! Now for Kuarismaki. #shedcff
msc45 Vocal applause for warm humanity of Kaurismaki's Le Harve - bit of retread in well worn comfortable shoes #shedcff
msc45 Having sneak preview of Japanese film Rabbit Horror 3D - shot by Christopher Doyle #shedcff
msc45 Just got txt telling me I have a melancholy ticket - hope it's for Von Trier's Melancholia tomorrow rather than a sad ticket ! #shedcff
msc45 Rather surprisingly Kaurismaki's Le Harve has taken lead in Screen's critic board #shedcff
msc45 Met with Fright Fest about poss event @wshed later this year - now for controversial film Michael from Markus Schleinzer #shedcff
msc45 Tree of Life not surprisingly tops Le Film Francais critics board with The Artist a close second. #shedcff
msc45 Music from Carne's restored Les Enfants du Paradis drifts over queue for Michael-ironic ! #shedcff
msc45 Competition film Michael directed with all the formal rigour you would expect from Seidl/Hanneke collaborator and as disquieting. #shedcff
msc45
Up red carpet for tenue de soirée of Melancholia (LVT apologised for earlier daft comments) #shedcff lockerz.com/
msc45
Lars and two charlottes heading for screening #shedcff lockerz.com/
msc45 Some booing as Lars walks in to auditorium #shedcff
msc45 Having just watched LtV's Melancholia I can say that Terence Malick's Tree of Life is a masterpiece #shedcff
msc45 Critics remarkably generous to Melancholia. Now that other great euro auteur Almodovar n The Skin I Live In. Right scrum to get in #shedcff
msc45 The Skin I Live In takes a while to get into gear but is wonderfully Almodovarian cross between Vertigo and Frankenstein #shedcff
msc45 The more days pass the deeper Tree of Life's roots go, been thinking of William Faulkner but not convinced by music and dinosaur's #shedcff
msc45
#shedcff RT @alexneedham74: Wow, #Cannes have just banned Lars von Trier from the festival t.co/
msc45 Raw depiction of aborigine life in Toomelah has done for me. After 30 or so films thoughts of lunch, pack and organise brain #shedcff
msc45 Late nite petit maj avec @yo_damo, agree Michael is one of strongest if most disquieting films in festival. Now brizzle beckons #shedcff
msc45 Palme D'Or winner ? The Artist for it's exuberant love of cinema or Dardennes for resonant morality tale or Ramsay for.....#shedcff
msc45 Tour de force direction or Malick for Tree of Life cinematic ruminations or Kuarismaki's deadpan humanism. We shall see. #shedcff
msc45 Or one I didn't see ! Most likely. Now home please to sleep perchance to dream some Cannes cinema infused dreams #shedcff
