Ну шо?))) Киллиан едет в Канны:
TO BE selected for the competition at the Cannes Film Festival is, alongside an Oscar nomination, an accolade for any film-maker.
But when veteran British director Ken Loach found himself shortlisted for the Palme d'Or trophy for an eighth time yesterday, he proclaimed it an even greater honour than the Oscars.
'The Wind that Shakes the Barley,' Loach's Irish civil war epic starring Cillian Murphy and Liam Cunningham, will have its world premiere at Cannes before opening in Ireland and Britain on June 23.
Loach said that Cannes, the world's top showcase for international cinema, was not only the premier film festival, but that its choice of films was not dictated by the intense lobbying involved in gaining Oscar recognition.
He described such lobbying as obscene and said it should be outlawed.
The film is one 19 on the shortlist announced yesterday for the festival, which runs from May 17 to 28.
Set in the 1920s, the film, which was shot in Cork and Kerry, tells the story of two brothers who fought together during the War of Independence before finding themselves on opposing sides as the civil war began.
Loach, who has become a darling of Cannes with films such as 'Land and Freedom,' about the Spanish Civil War, but who has yet to win an Oscar, said that it was a "pivotal" chapter in history.
The adaptation of Dan Brown's thriller 'The Da Vinci Code' will open the festival, but is not in competition. Its stars, Tom Hanks, Audrey Tautou and Sir Ian McKellen, are expected to attend.
Simon Perry, chief executive of the Irish Film Board, congratulated Loach and the production team: "This is the first (Irish) film selected for competition in Cannes since John Boorman's 'The General' (in 1998) and we are delighted that Ireland will once again be represented at the world's most prestigious festival."
'The Wind That Shakes the Barley' is an Irish-UK-Italian-German-Spanish co-production which was produced with a budget of approximately ?6.5m and had an Irish spend of almost ?4m.
The latest success for the Irish film industry follows hot on the heels of short film 'Six Shooter,' directed by Martin McDonagh, bringing home the Oscar for Best Short Film last month.
