Various public screenings skeds for Cannes 2013 — competition, non-competition, Un Certain Regard — were made available today. (No skeds yet for Critics Week or Directors Fortnight.) An exceptionally rich and demanding festival with very little relaxation time. The 5.15 screening of The Great Gatsby (Warner Bros, 5.10) is going to seem fairly anti-climactic for me with the critical verdict already in and the coming weekend’s box-office numbers the only thing left to ponder. If TGG dies or even underperforms this weekend (will it?) the Cannes showings will feel like a wake.
