The kings of the Croisette – Wild Bunch have got titles coming out of all orifices that they just supplied the fest with the last minute addition of Ken Loach's Route Irish. Earlier in the year they had one of the best comedies of the year in Four Lions play in Sundance (which has yet to be picked up for the North American market) and the steamy Rome in Room should fog up the Market Screenings. Three titles that should receive a lot of attention in this year's fest are: Jorge Michel Grau's contempo cannibal film to break out We Are What We Are (see pic), and Johannes Stjärne Nilsson's Sound of Noise – a high risk film because it mixes genres together like someone grabbing whole bunch of leftovers from the fridge. Already causing a stir is the social commentary docu film by agitator Sabina Guzzanti – Italian politicians beware.
