  • The Artist
    COMPETITION
    A love letter to silent cinema sealed with a smirk, "The Artist" reteams director Michel Hazanavicius with dapper "OSS 117" star Jean Dujardin for another high-concept homage, delivering a heartfelt, old-school romance without the aid of spoken dialogue or sound.

  • Drive
    COMPETITION
    The villain in "Drive" admits he used to produce movies -- sexy '80s action pics, to be exact. "One critic called them 'European,'" the sleazeball brags. Now he's starring in one. . .

      

  • Melancholia
    COMPETITION
    It's the end of the world but also the start of something new for Lars von Trier, whose mind-blowing "Melancholia" offers perhaps the gentlest depiction of annihilation one could imagine from any director, much less the Danish provocateur.

      

  • This Must Be the Place
    COMPETITION
    Paolo Sorrentino's coolness credentials are well established, but he's earned the right to be considered "cool" in an entirely different way with "This Must Be the Place."
