Life, Kong Rithdee, Published on 04/01/2015

There are 22 films in Cannes' Competition _ the most coveted contest in the world, sort of _ and most of them are latest works by brand-name directors who will, like futuristic priests, lead us to a prayer at Our Church of Cinema, godly and satanic.

This year we'll especially see that a lot more in the next 10 days.
