The lineup for the Cannes sidebar Critics Week ends a three-year absence of American movies with Milwaukee, Minnesota, the debut film from talent agent turned director Allan Mindel, among the seven competing titles this year, organizers announced today. The film is about a geeky guy whose amazing talent to hear fish underwater has earned him a small fortune that others would like to get their hands on. It stars Troy Garity, Allison Folland and Randy Quaid. Under director Claire Clouzet, the 42nd edition of Cannes' oldest sidebar is made up almost exclusively of world premieres. These include 20h17, Rue Darling, directed by Bernard Emond of Canada, about a man probing the former lives of six neighbors who died in a fire as a way of understanding why he was not among them, and Reconstruction, from Danish director Christoffer Boe, a psychological romantic drama about a man who puts his faith in love in order to have a future. Other titles in the main section are Elle est des notres (She's One of Ours), directed by France's Siegrid Alnoy; Deux Fereshte (Two Angels), by Mamad Haghighat of Iran; Entre Ciclones (Between Cyclones), from Cuban documentary maker and critic Enrique Colina; and Depuis qu'Otar est parti (Since Otar Left), a Franco-Belgian co-production directed by another documentary maker, Julie Bertuccelli, set in the Caucasus republic of Georgia.
