With only hours ago before the official selection for the Main Competition is announced, we’ve narrowed our final predictions to the following titles that we’re crystal-balling as the films that will be included on Thierry Fremaux’s highly anticipated list. Despite an obvious drought of Asian auteurs (we’re thinking the rumored frontrunner Takashi Miike won’t be included in tomorrow’s list) who’s to say there won’t be some definite surprises, like Jia Zhang-ke’s A Touch of Sin last year.
Several hopefuls appear not to be ready in time, including Malick, Hsou-hsien, Cristi Puiu, and Innarritu, to name a few. But there does appear to be a high quantity of exciting titles from some of cinema’s leading auteurs. We’re still a bit tentative about whether Xavier Dolan’s latest, Mommy, will get a main competition slot—instead, we’re predicting another surprise,...

Bird People
Director: Pascale Ferran
Writers: Guillaume Breaud, Pascale Ferran
Producers: Archipel 35’s Denis Freyd, Atlantic Pictures, Cofinova 8
U.S. Distributor: Rights Available
Cast: Radha Mitchelle, Josh Charles, Roschdy Zem
We haven’t seen anything from the prolific French director Pascal Ferran (she won the Golden Camera in Cannes 1994 for Coming to Terms With the Dead) since her 2006 adaptation of D.H. Lawrence’s Lady Chatterley (which was her only directorial effort last decade). So we’re excited to see her helming this international cast scripted by Breaud, who last wrote 2005′s Le Petit Lieutenant, directed by Xavier Beauvois.
Gist: The story takes place in the Paris area between an airport and an international hotel in its zone.All sorts of people are there, either in transit or because they live or work in this zone.This very contemporary film tries to describe today’s world but also the hopes...

#43. Pascale Ferran’s Bird People
Gist: Starring an acting mix of Radha Mitchell, Josh Charles, Anaïs Demoustier, Clark Johnson and Roschdy Zem, this takes place in the Paris area between an airport and an international hotel in its zone. All sorts of people are there, either in transit or because they live or work in this zone. This very contemporary film tries to describe today’s world but also the hopes and dreams of each and everyone within a social environment marked by the outbreak of the supernatural.
Prediction: After shoring up at the festival with Le Baiser (1990), La sentinelle (1992), Petits arrangements avec les morts (1994) we were thinking that she’d be present with Bird People especially since production took place around mid-2012 (here is visual proof). According to this publication, the latest from Lady Chatterley helmer won’t be ready, in fact, we might wait an entire year. Up...
