Today we’ve got a baker’s dozen thirteen added to the Cannes 2024 edition. We learned beforehand that Mohammad Rasoulof and Michel Hazanavicius we competition entries and one more title trickled in from Romanian actor/director Emanuel Parvu and his Trois kilomètres jusqu’à la fin du monde — a drama featuring Bogdan Dumitrache, Laura Vasiliu and Ciprian Chiujdea. This tells the story of Adi, a teenager from a village in the Danube Delta, who, through the efforts of his parents, studies in Tulcea.

Our countdown of the 100 best films of the 21st century continues. This is Part 2 #75 through 51.
Click here for Part 1 (#100-76)!
The first decade and a half of the 21st century has brought a lot of changes to the landscape of film. The advancement and sophistication of computers has made realistic computer generated effects a mainstay in both big-budget and small-budget films. The internet and streaming technologies have given big Hollywood new competition in films produced independently and by non-traditional means. We went from purchasing films on yards of tape to plastic disks, and now we can simply upload them to the cloud. Advertisements for films have reached a higher, more ruthless level where generating hype through trailers and teasers is crucial for a film’s commercial success. Movie attendance has fluctuated along with the economy, but that hasn’t stopped films from breaking box office records, including having films gross...

Laura Vasiliu, Anamaria Marinca, 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days Pedro Almodóvar's Volver: Biggest Oscar Snubs #4c A harrowing drama about a young woman (Laura Vasiliu) trying to get an abortion with the help of her friend (Anamaria Marinca) in Nicolae Ceausescu's Communist Romania, Cristian Mungiu's 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days won the Palme d'Or at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival. It was as much a shoo-in for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar as any non-English-language production has the right to be. "First, this movie should be enjoyed.

Penguins, Nicole Kidman and Narnia – Paul Howlett picks his film highlights
Christmas Eve
Over the Hedge
(Tim Johnson, Karey Kirkpatrick, 2006) 4.25pm, BBC1
A DreamWorks animated adventure in which Rj, the cynical racoon (laconically voiced by Bruce Willis) teaches a burrowful of innocent woodland animals to forage off the waste of an encroaching housing estate rather than rely on boring old natural food, before inevitably seeing the error of his ways. Plenty of good slapstick fun for kids and cine-literate gags for adults, although it all seems a bit glib compared to Shrek and co.
Corpse Bride
(Tim Burton, Mike Johnson, 2005) 6pm, ITV1
Life, in Burton's typically weird and ghoulish fantasy, is a dull, grey affair: death is much more colourful and fun, as young Victor (voiced by Johnny Depp) discovers when he is whisked into the underworld by the maggoty Corpse Bride (Helena Bonham Carter). Trouble is, he's in love...
