The 63rd Cannes film festival<\/a> kicks off tomorrow and below are all the films showing in the different strands.<\/p>\n

On paper this year doesn’t have the star power or\u00a0auteur driven appeal of previous festivals, but among the films competing for the Palme d’Or that cinephiles have high hopes for include: Mike Leigh’s Another Year<\/a><\/strong>, Doug Liman’s Fair Game<\/a><\/strong>, Mahamat Saleh-Haroun’s\u00a0A Screaming Man<\/a><\/strong>, Rachid Bouchareb’s Outside of the Law<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0Oliver Schmitz\u2019s Life Above All<\/a>, <\/strong>Nikita Mikhalkov’s Burnt by the Sun 2: Exodus<\/a><\/strong>, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s Biutiful<\/a> <\/strong>and Ken Loach’s late entry Route Irish<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In the Un Certain Regard strand\u00a0Hideo Nakata’s\u00a0Chatroom<\/a> <\/strong>and\u00a0Cristi Puiu’s\u00a0Aurora<\/a> <\/strong>have already been attracting buzz and will be looking for a commercial bounce from the festival.<\/p>\n

The big out-of-competition premieres include: Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood<\/a> <\/strong>starring Russell Crowe which launches the festival tomorrow on the same day it gets released around the world;\u00a0Stephen Frears’ Tamara Drewe<\/a><\/strong>, a live-action adaptation of the newspaper comic strip with Gemma Arterton and Luke Evans; Oliver Stone’s Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps<\/a><\/strong>, the sequel to his 1987 film which stars Michael Douglas, Shia LaBeouf and\u00a0Carey Mulligan; and Woody Allen’s You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger<\/a><\/strong> which features Freida Pinto, Anna Friel, Anthony Hopkins and Antonio Banderas.<\/p>\n

Given last year’s vintage festival, which included Pixar’s Up<\/a>, Michael Haneke’s Palme d’Or winner ‘The White Ribbon<\/a>‘, Jacques Audiard’s runner-up ‘A Prophet<\/a>‘, Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Inglourious Basterds<\/a>‘ and the controversy of Lars von Trier’s ‘Antichrist<\/a>‘, this year may struggle to achieve a similar level of quality or attention.<\/p>\n

When the selection was announced in Paris a few weeks ago, some observers were disappointed by the absence of Terence Malick’s ‘The Tree of Life<\/a>‘ (which couldn’t be\u00a0finished in time),\u00a0Christopher Nolan’s ‘Inception<\/a>‘, Darren Aronofsky’s ‘Black Swan<\/a>‘ and\u00a0Clint Eastwood’s ‘Hereafter<\/a>‘.\u00a0Despite that, a festival can always throw up plenty of surprises, even if some films are destined for oblivion<\/a>.<\/p>\n
