The big surprise in last month’s announcement of the lineup at the 69th Cannes Film Festival, which begins today, wasn’t one of the films. It was that the studio behind 5 of this year’s selections—more than any other distributor—is Amazon, marking the first time Cannes has included films produced by an online streaming company.The company may have been making a bet on Cannes in February, when it reportedly paid as much as $20 million to acquire the North American rights to Woody Allen’s Café Society, which the festival selected for its opening night. Three of Amazon’s other films will be among those competing for the Palme d’Or; the fifth is a special midnight screening.Amazon’s presence at Cannes is even more notable given the complete absence of its main competitor: Netflix.

Writer, director Enid Zentelis ("Evergreen") explores the challenging relationship between a mother and a daughter when unconditional love and drug addiction get in the way in "Bottled Up." Starring Melissa Leo, Zentelis' dark comedy reminds audiences to live fully for themselves instead of denying their needs for the love of others. Zentelis' describes the production of the film as a completely creative experience, as she balanced being both a mother and filmmaker at the time. What it's about: A solitary woman (Melissa Leo) earning her living by delivering mail and body piercing, makes every attempt to help her volatile adult daughter (Marin Ireland) get on her feet, and in-so-doing neglects herself, channeling all of her womanly desires into her houseplants...even when a charismatic and industrious environmentalist (Josh Hamilton) moves in with them. About the filmmaker: "Bottled Up" is my second feature as writer and director. Nominated for the Grand Jury.
