It was announced this evening that Joel and Ethan Coen will be co-presidents of the 68th Cannes Film Festival jury. They’ll each have their own vote, of course, but given their affinity and close creative collaborations over the decades, it makes you wonder if it’s possible that Joel and Ethan might disagree on a favorite for the Palme d’Or. The strong likelihood, I would imagine, is that they’ll be on the same page because they don’t know how to think any other way. But what if Ethan decides he likes Film A and Joel is more of a fan of Film B? Brother against brother, Cain vs. Abel, etc. The Cannes Film Festival runs from Wednesday, May 13th through Sunday, May 24th.
