Cannes Film Festival

Critics favorite "4 months, 3 weeks and 2 Days" captured the Palme d'Or of the 60th Cannes Film Festival.

"My Blueberry ... what?" Looks like Wong has lost his touch with the French since "2046."

My Blueberry Nights

Wong Kar Wai's My Blueberry Nights is opening the 2007 Cannes Film Festival on May 16. This is Wong's first English feature film, starring singer-songwriter Norah Jones and Jude Law.

I wonder if the French got tired of Wong's self-indulgent bullshit since "2046."

A movie teaser can be seen here. (just sit tight, the teaser will play after a couple of ads)

UPDATES:

• Here is a Q&A piece from Jonathan Landreth, live from Cannes as reported via Yahoo! news. Wong says, Nights is very different from Spider Man 3. That's news to me.
  
• "Blueberry" an acquired taste for some by Jonathan landreth. The same can be said for all of Wong's films. Generally speaking, an "acquired taste" can't be good sign.
• 2-star review from Xan Brooks of the Guardian filed on May 17, 2007. So exit poll doesn't seem very promising even for the artsy fartsy set.
• Press conference (video) from mingpaonews.com
