Comments on: The Surprises & Notable Absences Of The 2013 Cannes Line-Up https://staging2.theplaylist.net/the-surprises-notable-absences-of-the-2013-cannes-line-up-20130418/ Fri, 13 May 2016 10:09:55 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.2 By: The Fanciful Norwegian https://staging2.theplaylist.net/the-surprises-notable-absences-of-the-2013-cannes-line-up-20130418/#comment-57217 Fri, 13 May 2016 10:09:55 +0000 http://www.indiewire.com/2013/more/uncategorized/the-surprises-notable-absences-of-the-2013-cannes-line-up-99270/#comment-57217 TIAN ZHU DING (which is called A TOUCH OF SIN in English) was a huge surprise because a) Jia managed to finish the film in complete secrecy despite shooting all over China with a cast of recognizable figures (most notably Wang Baoqiang, coming fresh off LOST IN THAILAND) and b) it was reported just over a month ago that Jia hoped to shoot a film by that title later this year. The description provided then (a drama about migrant workers in the big city) sounds nothing like the one we're getting now (a road movie with wuxia elements), so it appears the Chinese media mixed up two different Jia projects.

Seriously. 1991. we need that time back. screw this bougie buulllshit. tickets cost 14 now. Studios know that and put out crap for bougie snobs who'll pay 2 hours minimum-wage ticket price.

Movies used open to be for the people. Now…you gotta be shoppin' at Whole Foods to see a damn flick in the theater. Backwards ass shiii.

Prepare for something else.

I mean his relationship with Cannes is like Tim Burton and Johnny Depp.

The Immigrant? Meh. It's like when Dominik changed Cogan's Trade to Killing Them Softly. What, really?

There surely will be 1 or 2 other films announced in the coming weeks before the festival.
