Cannes opens with glitz and political films
Angelina Jolie, Dustin Hoffman and Jack Black brought Hollywood to Cannes with "Kung Fu Panda", a Dreamworks movie for kids that premiered at the film festival Thursday. Jolie, heavily pregnant with twins, stepped up the celebrated Cannes red carpet flanked by partner Brad Pitt. The Brangelina appearance at the 12-day filmfest briefly swept Cannesī more high-brow fare off centre-stage, this year showcasing a trend for highly-relevant political movies. On the arthouse front in Cannes, of the films competing for the festivalīs top Palme dīOr prize, the most applauded by critics to date was Turkeyīs "Three Monkeys" by Nuri Bilge Ceylan, a tale set around family tension. The other three competition films already screened have all touched on politically or socially-relevant themes and been well-received: "Blindness" by Brazilīs Fernando Meirelles, "Waltz with Bashir," an animated documentary by Israelīs Ari Folman, and "Lionīs Den" by Argentinian Pablo Trapero.
