Trust Cannes for cooking up a storm in both the Internet and the blogosphere – revealing today a super-sexy, orgasm-worthy list of films playing back-to-back at the Croisette next month when the Festival de Cannes kicks off. Essentially the Olympics for the arthouse crowd, Cannes never fail to serve up a catalogue of muscular artistic credibility year after year. Just look at that lineup – the world’s finest auteurs are descending down to the Palais des Festival to battle it out for the Palme d’Or. The Dardenne brothers, David Cronenberg, Mike Leigh, Ken Loach, Oliver Assayas, Nuri Bilge Ceylan, Atom Egoyan, Olivier Dahan will all head-butt against Bennett Miller, Tommy Lee Jones, Michel Hazanavicius and Xavier Dolan (who finally graduates into the Big League, with his fifth feature Mommy playing in Official Competition). It’s a late apology for his masterful Laurence Anyways, if you ask me. However, before you count your chickens, prepare the French Riviera to part halfway through as the Grand Master of French Cinema Jean-Luc Godard is returning to Côte d’Azur with his 3D (gulp) comeback Adieu au Langage (Goodbye to Language).

There are also plenty of fishes to catch outside the Competition strand, as Baby Goose Ryan Gosling’s directorial debut will play in the Un Certain Regard section, alongside films from Mathieu Almaric, Wim Wenders, Ruben Oslund, Asia Argento and Ned Benson, whose Eleanor Rigby with Jessica Chastain and James McAvoy sits on top of my must-see list. Hot favourite Zhang Yimou also has a film out of competition – and failing to see all of that, there’s always How To Train Your Dragon 2. Hurrah!

But before you clap your eyes to all of these films listed below, we’ll all have to deal with Nicole Kidman first, expected to glide the red-carpet and open the festival as the Mother of all Glamourpusses, Princess Grace Kelly in Olivier Dahan’s much-publicised Grace of Monaco.

And because I love you, dear readers. I’ve copy-pasted the entire list from the OFFICIAL Festival de Cannes website.

You’re welcome.
