And the Telluride implications...

A number of Palme competition titles jump out as potential T-ride crossovers:

Todd Haynes Wonderstruck

Lynne Ramsay's You Were Never Really Here

Andrey Zvyasinstev's Loveless

Michel Hazanavicius' Redoutable

Michael Haneke's Happy End 

Noah Baumbach's The Meyerowitz Stories

Among the other categories few titles are catching my eye.  Maybe Mathieu Amalric's Barabra and Laurence Cantet's L'Atelier among the UCR section.  AMong the Special Screenings The Vanessa Redgrave directed Sea Sorrow interests me as does Alejandro Inarritu's Carne y arena.

Other titles will be added soon.

As regular readers know, the Cannes/Telluride crossover averages between seven and eight films each year.  Last year there were seven titles that played both fests including Graduation and Toni Erdmann.

Here is Cannes election coverage from:
