Cannes ‘09: Tracking The Competition

Marking the opening of Cannes, indieWIRE has expanded its recently launched Calendar section to include all of the films screening in competition at the fest.  This new section (explained more fully in our Summer Movie Guide), gives each film its own page, complete with information about the film, links to all of indieWIRE‘s coverage, as well as to other publications’ coverage, and a trailer (if there so be one).  Over the course of Cannes, we will update each page whenever new information becomes available, giving easy access to a specific film’s coverage. 

Below are links to the pages of all 20 films in competition. All films that have screened have been updated to include roundups of reviews:
