with a feeling. An emotion. A memory of an emotion that I was hoping to recreate in some way. Pictures from 65th annual Cannes Film Festival Moonrise Kingdom was one of a handful of American movies in the 22-strong competition section. Others included John Hillcoat's Prohibition-era move Lawless, with Shia LaBoeuf, Gary Oldman and Guy Pearce; Andrew Dominick's thriller Killing Them Softly with Brad Pitt; Lee Daniels The Paperboy with Zac Efron, Matthew McConaughey and Nicole Kidman. Also featured is Jeff Nichols Mud with McConaughey and Reese Witherspoon and David Cronenberg's Don DeLillo adaptation Cosmopolis starting Robert Pattinson of Twilight fame and Juliette Binoche. In addition, Kanye West also premiered a short film/art installation, Cruel Summer, at the festival, which kicked off May 16. It stars Kid Cudi as a car thief who falls in love with a blind Arabian princess, but West also makes an appearance. And British rock start Pete Doherty, the on-again, off-again lead singer of the Libertines, also made his acting debut in Confession of a Child of the Century, which screened at the festival. Last year's Palme d'Or prize went to The Tree of Life, a film from American director and writer Terrence Malick.
