NYFF well stocked with Cannes titles

August 12, 2008 The North American premieres of Clint Eastwood's "Changeling," Darren Aronofsky's "The Wrestler" and a host of Festival de Cannes titles from Steven Soderbergh and other auteurs highlight the lineup of the 46th New York Film Festival. The Centerpiece spot for "Changeling," from Universal/ Imagine, bolsters the Angelina Jolie-toplined Cannes entry as a prime Oscar contender, as does the closing-night slot for "Wrestler," with both prestige positions closely watched in the awards race. Seventeen of the fest's 28 titles appeared at Cannes in May, including Soderbergh's four-hour-plus Spanish-language biopic "Che," and 20 are foreign-language features.
