Raindance 2013 line-up announced

But did they make a mistake in putting Julian Assange on their jury?

Review: Ain't Them Bodies Saints

Rooney Mara is fantastic in this delicate, sun-soaked Western

Review: About Time

Ever since I was a boy, I always wondered about voice-overs...

Film review: Wadjda

Every now and then, a film comes along that changes the world. Sometimes, you don't even realise it's doing it.

World War H – or hate’s not all that

What do Shyamalan, World War Z and Man of Steel have in common? Hype - and hate.

Burton Heads Cannes Jury Print E-mail

The Cannes jury for 2010 will be headed by the man whose head wears hair like this. Tim Burton, gothic maestro and all-round weirdo, has been selected to lead the Cannes judging panel for the festival next May. So will we get more twisted titles taking home the Palme d'Or? Or will Tim show his milder side as an all-round cinema lover? This is what the director had to say:


"After spending my early life watching triple features and 48-hour horror movie marathons, I'm finally ready for this. When you think of Cannes, you think of world cinema. And, as films have always been like dreams to me, this is a dream come true."


A conclusive answer, there, from the man with the glasses. I don't know about you, but I'm excited.
