Cannes artistic director Thierry Fremaux: The film is a “love letter to the Hollywood of his childhood, a rock music tour of 1969, and an ode to cinema as a whole.” As for Mektoub, which, I was told, includes a prolonged sex scene, Kechiche-style, Fremaux said he “saw the film last Thursday, as it was still being edited, and definitely right in the middle of edits.” Running four effing hours, Intermezzo will screen at the end of the festival “so the DCP has time to get there.” Gaspar Noé’s “Lux Aeterna” and Patricio Guzmán’s “La Cordillera de los sueños “were also note-worthy additions in today’s lineup announcement. The Noe is supposed to be 50 minutes in length and is a midnight screening. Wowza. Contribute Hire me
