Complete 2014 Cannes Film Festival Lineup

This morning the 2014 Cannes Film Festival lineup was announced and while at least one Out of Competition title is still to be announced, along with the Critics’ Week and Directors’ Fortnight lineups, we have a look at what films make up the competition and it’s largely a lot of the titles that were rumored heading into today’s announcement.

Among the competition titles you have Atom Egoyan‘s Captives, which we’ll have to hope is better than Devil’s Knot, Bennett Miller‘s highly anticipated Foxcatcher, Jean-Luc Godard‘s 3D feature Goodbye To Language, The Homesman from Tommy Lee Jones, Ken Loach‘s Jimmy’s Hall and David Cronengberg‘s Maps to the Stars.

I’m jealous I won’t be there to see Xavier Dolan‘s first time in competition with Mommy, Mike Leigh is again at Cannes with Mr. Turner and Michel Hazanavicius returns to Cannes after The Artist took the fest by storm with The Search.

Olivier Assayas‘ Sils Maria starring Kristen Stewart, Juliette Binoche and Chloë Moretz will play in competition as will Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardennes‘ Two Days One Night.

Olivier Dahan‘s Grace of Monaco will open the festival and the two other current Out of Competition titles include Zhang Yimou‘s Coming Home and Dreamworks’ How to Train Your Dragon 2.

The Midnight Selection includes The Rover, the second film starring Robert Pattinson in the fest behind Maps to the Stars, along with The Salvation starring Mads Mikkelsen and the Korean remake of Point Blank, The Target.

In the Un Certain Regard selection all eyes will be on Ryan Gosling‘s directorial debut Lost River (aka How to Catch a Monster) and instead of a major Sundance title making the cut this year, it’s The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby, which played in Toronto last year, starring James McAvoy and Jessica Chastain.

There are still more titles to be announced and I’ll be updating the lists below as they are.
