Wonderful French Films...
In fact, ha! There is a sixth American in competition, Julian Schnabel, who presents a full-length film which is regarded as French. Filmed biography of a (deceased Neo-expressionist Painter Jean-Michel Basquiat) Also, I believe, it is Schnabel's first time competition in Cannes.
Two other French films: “An old mistress” is adapted novel éponyme of Jules Barbey d' Aurevilly; and it is also the first appearance in competition of “scandalous” the Catherine Breillat. Christophe Honore, impétrant (also first appearance) for writer and playwright... The actresses Ludivine Sagnier and Chiara Mastroianni: “Love songs.”
