32 countries. 52 films. 46 world premieres. Cannes is back. And we haven't been invited. Rather than sit around and mope (we can do that later), here's the line-up of coolness coming to the Croisette.

Things kick off with Pixar's latest, Up, but there's more interesting stuff showing. We all know about Inglourious Basterd's dash for the Palme d'Or, but how about Pedro Almodovar's Broken Embraces? With Pedro and Penelope back together, that could really be something special.

The Koreans are there in force, too, with Bong Joon-Ho (The Host) and Park Chan-Wook's most recent projects. The latter, from the Oldboy director, is called Thirst. It's about vampires. I can't imagine anything that could be more graphic, violent or absolutely amazing. Sam Raimi will be upping the blood count, too, with Drag me to Hell - awesome.

Hold your horses there's more! Ang Lee helms Emile Hirsch and the equally wonderful Liev Schreiber in Taking Woodstock, Ken Loach is showing up, along with Cantona, in Looking for Eric. And Coca Chanel is glamming it up in two separate biopics - count 'em, two. One of them, Coco Chanel and Igor Stravinsky, by Jan Koenen, is closing the festival.

And, finally, Terry Gilliam's long-awaited piece with the late Heath Ledger, The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus. That alone is worth the price of admission. Which we couldn't afford. Sorry, that would be the moping again. Here's the complete line-up:
