French director Roland Edzard is getting quite a bit of attention for his feature film debut which recently premiered at Cannes. The story of a troubled young man who leaves home and finds solace in the woods with a couple whose idea of a good time is loading their shotguns and hunting for the weekend, THR said The End of Silence (La Fin du Silence) "makes "Winter's Bone" look like the Upper East Side." Considering the grimness of Winter.s Bone, this certainly sounds promising.
Reading further, that seems to be the only good thing to be said for Edzard's film which apparently gets lost in its story but my curiosity is already peeked and it's going to take more than a few mediocre reviews to dissuade me from seeing the film. No trailers kicking around yet but there is a clip from the film that shows promise as Jean...

Dominique Abel, Fiona Gordon and Bruno Romy's La Fee (The Fairy) will open this year's Directors' Fortnight on May 12 and Bouli Lanners's Les Géants (The Giants) will close it on May 22. Here's how the full lineup of 25 films pans out.
The Fairy. From MK2: "Dom works the night shift in a small hotel near the industrial sea port of Le Havre. One night, a woman arrives with no luggage and no shoes. Her name is Fiona. She tells Dom she is a fairy and grants him three wishes. Fiona makes two wishes come true, then mysteriously disappears. Dom, who by then has fallen in love with Fiona searches for her everywhere and eventually finds her. In the psychiatric hospital where she has been interned. The filmmakers behind the critically acclaimed Iceberg and Rumba are back to enchant the world."
Karim Ainouz's O abismo prateado.
Urszula Antoniak's Code Blue.

The lineup for the Cannes film festival has been finalized with the announcement of the Directors’ Fortnight lineup, which includes Guilty of Romance by one of my personal favourite directors, Sion Sono.

Here’s the complete list of titles:
