Among the many surprises when the announcement of the Cannes Film Festival competition came out last week was the omission of Jim Jarmusch’s Tilda Swinton-starring vampire tale “Only Lovers Left Alive” in the competition category — a film that many pundits predicted would vie for the Palme d’Or.
As it turns out, they were right.
At a recent press conference, Cannes officials confirmed that the film has been added last-minute to the competition, along with a number of other titles playing in different sections, including Claude Lanzman’s latest Holocaust documentary “Le Dernier Des Injustes,” playing out of competition.
Below find a list of the new films included in the lineup.
