Looks like Coriolanus will be shown at Cannes on Thursday, May 12th at 9:45 am in a 70 seat theater. It's only playing ONCE.
Don't know what that means. Not the best time and it's in a small theater. And I see it on the calendar, but I don't see it listed on other parts of the Cannes Film Festival site as in the lineup.

I guess it's not a part of the competition. Most of the theaters are 40-80 seats. Hmm...Coriolanus is being shown first thing in the morning, that probably means they don't expect many wanting to see it.

How disappointing for the cast and crew. Isn't Cannes seen as a major sellers market?

When it arrives in Australia, it'll be on my list of must-sees movies.

The Icon Entertainment site has it listed as a market screening:

What is a market screening? I assume it is for industry peoples, for sale/distribution purposes rather than selection for recognition.
