Cannes Film Festival Selections Include New Films By Pedro Almodóvar, Lars von Trier and Jodie Foster

As expected, the Cannes Film Festival lineup includes new films from a who's who of modern auteurs including Lars von Trier, Pedro Almodóvar, Terrence Malick, Nicolas Winding Refn and more. But hey, The Beaver is also playing, as is Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, which apparently clocks in at two hours and 20 minutes, not nine like the trailer suggested. Take a gander at the entire list of selections after the jump.
