The Canne lineup this year is remarkably drool-worthy. And trailers for the films on the list have begun to surface. Von Trier's Manderlay looks good, but really excites me is this French site for Van Sant's Last Days. The trailer is a bit obscure(d), but it fits in perfectly with the really beautiful design of the site. Here's hoping that the film will be the third consecutive masterpiece for Van Sant.
Speaking of my favorite American auteurs and Cannes: there's no trailer yet for Jarmusch's Broken Flowers, but given the level of secrecy he's maintained thus far, I suppose the revalation of the title is enough for now.
I went to the Met to see the Diane Arbus exhibition yesterday, as soon as I got into town; it was fantastic, and the Max Ernst retrospective that was also on display was a nice surprise. Today, I think I might catch some Harold Lloyd at the Film Forum. And then Yen is throwing a sure-to-be-fabulous dinner party for some of our NYC friends (including Jessica and Geoffroy, whose lovely pad we're crashing at - Jessica was involved in Deadroom at one point, before she moved out East, and is featured in the ancient teaser trailer we shot a year before the movie).
I imagine the only way I'll ever stop romanticizing this city is to actually move here.
