Coppola, Kidman, virtual reality in Cannes Film Fest lineup
PARIS (AP) — A Civil War film by Sofia Coppola, a Ukrainian road movie and a drama about AIDS activism are among the 18 films competing for top prizes this year at the Cannes Film Festival , an international cinema extravaganza that organizers hope can help counter rising nationalist sentiment around the world. Festival director Thierry Fremaux and President Pierre Lescure on Thursday announced a lineup that includes Cannes' first virtual-reality entry, tackles topics from animal cruelty to the migrant crisis and offers four chances to see Nicole Kidman onscreen. Contenders for the top Palme d'Or prize at the 70th Cannes festival include Coppola's spooky Civil War drama "The Beguiled," starring Kidman and Kirsten Dunst; American director Noah Baumbach's family saga "The Meyerowitz Stories," starring Dustin Hoffman, Ben Stiller and Adam Sandler; and fellow American Todd Haynes' 1920s-set drama "Wonderstruck." [...] aiming to impress a competition jury headed by Spanish director Pedro Almodovar are "Okja,"a fantasy thriller with an animal-rights theme by South Korea's Bong Joon-ho starring Tilda Swinton; French director Michel Hazanavicius' tribute to the French New Wave, "Le Redoutable"; sex-trafficking drama "You Were Never Really Here" from Britain's Lynne Ramsay; and "The Killing of a Sacred Deer," a thriller from Greek filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos starring Kidman and Colin Farrell. Political documentaries include "An Inconvenient Sequel," follow-up to Al Gore's climate-change movie "An Inconvenient Truth"; Claude Lanzmann's film about North Korea, "Napalm"; and actress Vanessa Redgrave's directorial debut "Sea Sorrow," about refugees and those trying to help them.

God save us all from the dangers of this intense religious fervour
Behind the promise of the messiah is the terrifying idea of a world beyond the need for politics and compromise Last Sunday, as the blood of Egyptian Christians was being wiped from the church floor, tens of thousand of us were walking down from the Mount of Olives, following as much as possible the footsteps of Jesus on his final entry into Jerusalem. “Hosanna,” we all sang and shouted, waving our palms. It means: “I beg you to save us.” Some waved eucalyptus leaves. I even saw sunflowers. This was meant to be the triumphant arrival of the messiah. The atmosphere was feverish with recreated anticipation. I got into an argy-bargy with a couple of Franciscan monks who strong-armed me off the road so that three Catholic bishops could breeze past. Some people can go a bit hysterical with all this religious energy. In the 1930s, the Jerusalem psychiatrist Heinz Herman gave it a name: Jerusalem syndrome. In the Bible, the events of the first Palm Sunday were written up to meet various scattered expectations about the coming of the messiah, that one day someone would turn up from God to reunite the Jewish people and bring peace to the world. The Bible is full of clues as to his identity. He would be descended from King David. He would arrive on a donkey. And the Greek word Christos is a translation of the Hebrew word messiah. Thus, to speak of a carpenter from Nazareth as “the Christ” is to make a massive statement. Part king, part priest, he comes to rule the world, a perfect combination of might and right.
