63rd Cannes Film Festival

The official selection for the 63rd Cannes Film Festival has been announced! The Festival will begin on the 12th of may and will continue for 11 days until the 23rd of may. This year they are screening 46 films that fall under four categories, Competition, Out of Competition, Special Screening and Un Certain Regard. The film I am looking forward to the most is Ridley Scott's Robin Hood starring Russell Crowe that will play opening night at the festival. Its because Russell Crowe has been one of my favourtie actors ever since I saw him in Gladiator which was directed by Ridley Scott as well.
