The Circuit

(Why are we troubling you with brain-clogging trivia? Eh, why not. Tuesday is the end of the non-festival, which means you'll have plenty of reality starting tomorrow. And I wanted a reason to post the official poster, the coolest one I've ever seen out of Cannes.)   1. "My Blueberry Nights" stars Jude Law and Norah Jones and is the current odds-on favorite at Bodog.com to win the Palme D’Or.
2. The title refers to a pie that plays a key role in the plot.
3. According to Harvey Weinstein, Jones was reluctant to take her role.
4. Also according to Weinstein: Director Wong Kar Wai convinced Jones by saying, “Hi, I’m Wong Kar Wai. He is, after all, the director of ‘I’m in the Mood for Love.’ That should have been enough.”
5. Wong Kar Wai is the only director to be represented both in Cannes’ 60th anniversary poster and in the 60th anniversary festival lineup.(Dana Harris)
