Three years after his first visit to Cannes, the green ogre Shrek is back. Co-directed by Andrew Adamson, Kelly Asbury and Conrad Vernon, DreamWorks" Shrek 2 is one of two animated features in this year"s competition (the other is Mamoru Oshii"s Innocence). The voice talents from the first film are back with Mike Meyers, Eddie Murphy and Cameron Diaz this time joined by Rupert Everett, Antonio Banderas and Julie Andrews. Shrek 2 is great fun for kids big and small, with the same perfectly mastered animation as the original. The new characters are charming ?from the parents of Princess Fiona, Prince Charming to the intrepid Puss in Boots ?and reinforce the first film"s successful mix of cheek, comedy and parody.

The film crew from Shrek 2 came out in numbers for the film presentation in competion at the Festival: director Andrew Adamson, producer Jeffrey Katzenberg, voice talents Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz, Eddie Murphy, Antonio Banderas, Jennifer Saunders, Rupert Everett, Julie Andrews and for the voice of Shrek in the French version, Alain Chabat. Talking about their voice recording experiences: Mike Myers: "I"m used to spending a lot of time putting on costumes for my characters. The nicest thing for Shrek was that I didn"t even have to take a shower.?/i> Cameron Diaz: "We have a lot more freedom to make faces that will never be seen. I do the bulk of the work with Andrew." Eddie Murphy: "There is a video camera that records everything we do, it"s very particular. As we can watch our characters on screen while animating their voice, quite often the animators take the same gestures as their characters. And that"s what I do for the donkey. " Jeffrey Katzenberg on animated film production: "Being invited to Cannes is in itself a win. [...] DreamWorks is stepping up its commitment to animation with two animated features a year." Antonio Banderas on Puss in Boots: "Puss in Boots is based on the original story for children but in the movie is quite different. The character has a lot to do with other roles I have played like the 13th Warrior, Zorro, and Desperado." The film team all had an answer to which was their favourite animated film: Jennifer Saunders: "Peter Pan", Mike Myers: "Felix the Cat", Jeffrey Katzenberg: "Pinocchio", Eddie Murphy: "Bugs Bunny", Cameron Diaz: "The Hobbit", Rupert Everett: "Jungle Book", Julie Andrews: "Bambi" and Alain Chabat : "101 Dalmatians"

Old Boy, screening in competition, is the new film from South Korean director, Park Chan-wook, the second volume of a trilogy based around the idea of vengeance. (The first film was 2002"s Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance.) The thriller, which was freely adapted from a 1997 Japanese comic book, has been an enormous success in South Korea. The film tells the story of Oh Dae-soo who one day ?and for no apparent reason ?is kidnapped in front of a telephone box. When he awakes he finds himself locked in a cell. His only link with the outside world is a TV set, through which he learns that his wife has been murdered ?and he"s the main suspect. During the 15 years he spends locked up he feeds his rage and plots revenge. When he is suddenly freed he receives a call from the person responsible for his imprisonment who proposes a game, If you find out the truth, you can meet me. 밒 think that I make pessimistic films because I"m far too optimistic in daily life,?/i> explains Park Chan-wook. 밯hile the scenes of violence are very mild, certain viewers panic before seeing them and hide behind their hands.?/i>

Press Conference: "Old Boy"

© FABIENNE BUEHLER

This morning, the Old Boy team were reunited for the obligatory Festival press conference. Present were director Park Chan-wook, director of photography Chung Chung-hoon, actors Choi Min-sik (Oh Dae-soo), Yoo Ji-rae (Lee Woo-jin) and Gang Hye-jung (Mido). Highlights. Park Chan-wook on the theme of revenge: 밒n society, revenge is strictly forbidden. And the forbidden is the artist"s area. That"s why the theme interested me.?/i> Park Chan-wook on the scene in the corridor: 밃t the beginning, the fight in the corridor was going to be made up of 100 shots. But I preferred to place more importance on the character"s solitude rather than the exciting side of the fight. So in the end we shot it as a really long shot.?/i> Choi Min-sik on his role: 밒 worked mainly on how I"d look because of my imprisonment. The stylists helped me with my hair, the clothes, but the most important work was the physical work. I concentrated on the before and after. A stressed person can"t put on weight, so I boxed as well. To get out of the role, I just drank a lot of alcohol. [Laughs]?/i> Park Chan-wook on gratuitous violence: 밮iolence can be visually very beautiful, really exciting. But what"s important is what"s hiding behind the violence. I prepare the ground beforehand so that the violence doesn"t seem gratuitous.?/i> Choi Min-sik on South Korean cinema: 밯ithout being political, it"s clear that Korean cinema is evolving thanks to its recent freedom, something that"s indispensable to a culture"s enrichment. There was a dark period under the dictatorship, but the return of our freedom has sent our collective imagination soaring.?/i>

Special Screening: "Epreuves d"Artistes" (Words in Progress) by Gilles Jacob

Following Histoire(s) de Festival and Les Marches (a musical comedy), Festival President Gilles Jacob looks back at several memorable moments in the history of the Cannes Festival in a third documentary entitled Words in Progress (Epreuves d"Artistes). During the film"s 52 minutes, 30 of the greatest film directors ?among which are Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, Federico Fellini, Robert Bresson and Jean-Luc Godard (to whom this film is dedicated) - reveal some of their secrets; think aloud; convey their distinct visions of cinema. Excerpts from press conferences, group reflections, instants of anger and laughter, Jacob continues to associate ideas and images in homage to the profession of director.

Un Certain Regard: "A ce soir." by Laure Duthilleul

Selected in the Un Certain Regard section, A ce soir. is director Laure Duthilleul"s first film, which means it"s also competing for the Cam?a d"Or. The film is the story of a nurse, Nelly (Sophie Marceau), her two children Pedro and Jeanne, and their friend Etienne who are faced with a new reality when Nelly"s husband Manuel dies. The period of mourning takes an unexpected turn when Nelly refuses to let the funeral directors take the body. 밒t"s about life and death, says Laure Duthilleul. 밒 deal the subject head-on, because the dead man is shown all the way through the film. It"s like a way of making him live again, of accepting his death before saying good bye.?/i> For Sophie Marceau the film is about life as much as death. 밒 felt this story as a story about life. Death falls on us; it"s such a shock, a guillotine. There"s nothing more and we don"t know what 몁othing" is. For us, the living. it"s impossible to comprehend what it means 몋o no longer be." It sends you speeding into something so unknown and so close at the same time that it"s life that gains the upper hand.?/i>

Out of Competition: "Dawn of the Dead" by Zack Snyder

© FABIENNE BUEHLER

With Dawn of the Dead, the Festival is welcoming the remake of George A. Romero"s 1978 classic film of the same name. This daring adaptation, screening out of competition at a midnight show, is director Zack Snyder"s first feature, after many years making commercials. Ving Rhames, seen in Quentin Tarantino"s Pulp Fiction among other films, stars alongside Sarah Polley and Mekhi Phifer. Dawn of the Dead takes the starting point of Romero"s film ?a group of people fleeing hungry zombies hides out in a shopping mall ?but radically changes the way the zombies move. Instead of walking in slow-motion they can now move quickly to attack their victims. Frightening, disturbing and particularly bloody, Zack Snyder"s film is faithful to the original while creating its own distinct personality. To the usual cold sweats so loved of the genre are added a good dose of humour and a subtle portrait of a community stuck in a troubled world.

The Promenades Musicales: Joe Hisaishi

The Promenades Musicales continue at the listening posts on the Croisette. Today festivalgoers have the chance to hear the work of Joe Hisaishi with music from Kikujiro, Brother, Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away.

With the support of the Foreign Affairs Ministry, the Cannes Festival hosts the visit of around 60 young filmmakers from around the world, notably the Brazilian Joel Cano (Siete Dias, Siete Noches), Moroccan Faouzi Bensa?i (Mille Mois), American Alexandra Kerry (The Last Full Measure), who is indeed the daughter of John Kerry, and French Fr??ic Videau (Vari??Fran?ise). While in Cannes, they are invited to view films and participate in the festival events. They will also be given an opportunity to extend their network of contacts within the industry, develop their projects, compare and discuss their experiences. This initiative further encourages the emergence of new cinematography, enriched by the closer ties between the different cultures.

Un Certain Regard: "Moolaad? by Ousmane Semb?e

© Fabienne Buehler

Screening in the Un Certain Regard section, Ousmane Semb?e"s Moolaad?/b> deals with the difficult subject of female circumcision. To escape this ritual of 뱎urification?organized every seven years, four young girls flee their village and find protection with a man called Coll? but their flight sends the local population into turmoil. Semb?e, a politically and socially engaged filmmaker, uses the film to denounce female circumcision as an attack on the dignity and integrity of women. The Cannes Festival not only welcomes Moolaad?/b>, but also Mrs. Viviane Wade, wife of the Senegalese president Abdoulaye Wade, visiting in support of a work dedicated to 뱓he women fighting to abolish this legacy of a time gone by.?/i>

Exhibitions: Bad Boys, Certains Regards and JLG

Several exhibitions are presented at the 57th edition of the Cannes Festival, thanks to the support of Region Ile-de-France. An exhibit dedicated to the stars of 밼ilm noir?after WWII was selected from among other projects by the Natexis Banques Populaires, presenting the Kobal collection. Several B&W photos such as Burt Lancaster in The Killers, Richard Widmark in Kiss of Death and Cary Grant in Suspicion are on display in the Lumiere Theatre hall.

The Debussy Theatre hall is featuring Certains Regards, a selection of photographs spanning the last five years of the Un Certain Regard section. Portraits of such stars as Ewan McGregor, Anna Mouglalis, Robert Duvall, Michel Piccoli, Elodie Bouchez and Al Pacino are hung for festivalgoer viewing.

Last but not least, JLG is an 밶udiovisual exhibit?dedicated to Jean-Luc Godard, who is presenting his latest film, Notre Musique, out of competition.

Out of Competition: "Five" by Abbas Kiarostami

© NICOLAS GIRAUD

After 10 on Ten showing in Un Certain Regard, Five is Abbas Kiarostami"s second film to be screened at this year"s festival. A contemplative work, showing out of competition, it invites the viewer, as its director explains, to look at things that in themselves are not particularly worth looking at." Finding himself in a house in the north of Iran by the Caspian Sea , the director picked up his handheld DV camera and began filming the seemingly anodyne events happening on the 500 metres of beach in front of his house ?a piece of wood toyed with by the waves, people walking by the sea, indistinct shapes on a wintry beach or noisy ducks. For the director, "an entire world is revealed to us. It"s a work that approaches poetry, painting. It let me escape from the obligation of narration and of the slavery of mise en sc?e."

Out of Competition: "Cin?stes ?tout prix" (Born to Film) by Fr??ic Sojcher

© FABIENNE BUEHLER

This year, the Festival opened a new section dedicated to documentaries on filmmaking. Born to Film (Cin?stes ?tout prix), the out of competition film from Belgian director Fr??ic Sojcher, focuses on the amazing low-budget films made in Belgium by a projectionist, a high school teacher and a construction worker. Admired by No? Godin (밻ntarteur??[throws pies in the face of unexpected personalities]) and Beno? Poelvoorde (Man Bites Dog, Podium) for their unpredictable and alternative surrealism, these Don Quixote of cinema put Hollywood into question. Fr??ic Sojcher pays them homage: "I"ve always been intrigued by the tenacity of filmmakers, who, for dozens of years, devote all their time, energy and savings to their films.?/i> For them, filmmaking and life are inextricably linked. They film like they breathe. These obsession뻚riven men produce something that can only be classified as an oeuvre...

Flashback to Friday, May 14, 2004

© Ariel Barkan

One of the major events of the day was the presence of Emir Kusturica and his film crew on the red carpet for the director"s latest film, Life is a Miracle. In presenting this love story set against the Balkan war, the Sarajevo-born director is in the running for his third Palme d"Or, following Palm winners When Father Was Away on Business (1985) and Underground (1995). Also presented in competition was American-born Jonathan Nossiter"s documentary Mondovino. The oenologist-filmmaker takes us to three continents to size up the current state of wine making. Max von Sydow honoured the Festival with his presence, inaugurating the first Acting Masterclass. The Swedish actor talked about his collaborations with Ingmar Bergman, underlining the concentration and personal commitment necessary for the craft. Three films from three different countries were presented in the Un Certain Regard section: France presented Right Now (A tout de suite) from director Benoit Jacquot, the story of two young lovers on the run in the 70s; Afghanistan director Atiq Rahimi adapted his own novel in this first film, Earth and Ashes; and finally Chinese director Yang Chao"s Passages, in the running for a Camera d"Or.
