Love, Marilyn
Feed your fascination with the iconic Marilyn Monroe with this documentary using excerpts from the stars own poems and letters. Home movie footage is also included while famous readers include Evan Rachel Wood, Uma Thurman and Marisa Tomei.
Argo
After Gone Baby Gone and The Town, Ben Affleck is emerging as one of the top actors-turned-directors to watch. His latest drama/thriller is the incredible true story of hostages who were rescued by US agents posing as the production team on a fictional film.
Frankenweenie 3D
Opening this years festival is Tim Burtons witty, inventive animation about a science-mad kid who manages to bring his dog back to life with chaotic results. This typically dark insight into small town America also reunites Burton with Edward Scissorhands star Winona Ryder, who voices the goth girl next door.
The Hunt
Danish director Thomas Vinterberg could be eyeing an Oscar nomination for this accomplished insight into the dangers of small town gossip. The magnetic Mads Mikkelsen (the baddie from Casino Royale) stars in this unforgettable and visually stunning film.
Beasts of the Southern Wild
Hailed as a masterpiece by many at Cannes Film Festival, this fantastical slice of magic realism tells of a characterful little girl living in the Louisiana swamps. Haunting imagery mingles with heart-warming humour.
