Tetro Update

Looks like the Coppola movie will go to Cannes after all, as Hollywood Reporter’s Rebecca Leffler reports:

Although the director said last week that he turned down an invitation to walk the red carpet at the Festival de Cannes, his film is set to open the 41st annual Directors’ Fortnight, the less-glitzy sidebar to the main event, organizers said Friday.

Coppola opted for the Fortnight invite, he explained, because the sidebar is more in keeping with the film’s indie nature. “It is so difficult to work in a personal way in the cinema today, between the business constraints and commercial realities, that you must let your work be a cry for independence, which is why it is so appropriate that ‘Tetro’ is premiered in the Directors’ Fortnight, where young filmmakers go,” he said.
