...race for the championship. “I don’t think you can deny that we were looking to get the title,” Orler said. “It’s kind of hard when you know you have to take that No. 1 slot and the racing just doesn’t work out in your favor on that day. You always hope that you’ve found more speed than the other [crew] since the last meet, and it doesn’t always work out that...
...Labyrinth was shown Saturday, the Festival's final day of competition. That's the graveyard slot here. By the 11th day, many of the Cannes conventioneers have departed, and the Jury presumably has a good idea of their award preferences by then.

One would expect as much from Aronofsky, a young director with an original, powerful vision. But The Fountain dropped out at the last minute, reportedly because the programmers offered it a slot out of competition for the Palme d'Or and Aronofsky wanted to compete with the big boys. Now critics will have to wait till the fall to see if they would have slotted it in their own imaginary, ideal film festival...
