Sono arrivati i nomi dei giurati della 66esima edizione del Festival di Cannes. Capitanata da Steven Spielberg, la giuria che assegnerà la Palma d'oro vede coinvolti nomi altisonanti.
Questa non è male per niente. Ricorderete tutti che nel maggior del 2011, dopo alcune affermazioni inopportune su Hitler e il nazismo, Lars von Trier ottenne dal Festival di Cannes, dove era ospite per presentare Melancholia, un ammonimento, venendo etichettato come persona non gradita con effetto immediato.
Il comitato di selezione della Semaine de la Critique, sezione indipendente e parallela del Festival di Cannes, ha annunciato l'elenco dei film della sua 52esima edizione.
Due grandissimi ritorni al FEFF 15: stiamo parlando di Ip Man – The Final Fight, nuovo capitolo della saga dedicata al leggendario mentore di Bruce Lee, e di The Complex, il nuovo j-horror di Hideo Nakata (Udine, ricordiamo, fu il primo domicilio occidentale della trilogia di The Ring).
Dopo il pop idol giapponese Kamenashi Kazuya, che ha reso effervescenti la vigilia e l’opening night del FEFF 15, un’altra superstar è pronta per salire sul palco del Teatro Nuovo: stiamo parlando della bellissima diva cinese Qin Lan, a Udine domenica 21 aprile con il regista Lu Chuan (entrambi molto amati dal pubblico del festival per The City Of Life and Death).
La 15esima edizione del Far East Film Festival di Udine ha preso il via: la cronaca dell'opening night tra King Hu, le spie coreane di Ryoo Seung-wan e l'anteprima mondiale dell'ultimo lavoro di Satoshi Miki
