A poster for the 2006 Cannes Film Festival. Chinese Director Wong Kar Wai will head the jury of this 59th Cannes Film Festival, that will take place from 17 to 28 May 2006. Sex -- in many forms and, in at least one case, unsimulated -- is heating up screens at the Cannes film festival, confirming the event's reputation for taboo-busting fare. Five films in the official competition alone have already offered enough nudity to mark them for mature audiences only, and one, "Shortbus", by US director John Cameron Mitchell, blurred the boundary between pornography and art with its actors engaging in real intercourse. |
