Cannes Classics 2010 - Last

For the first time I'm recording here information about this section of the Cannes fest that screens classics from all over the world. The following is the section description.

Cannes Classics, created in 2004, accompanies contemporary films from the Official Selection with a program of restored films and lost films that have been found again, as part of their re-release in cinemas or on DVD. The screenings will be held at the Palais des Festival and will be shown again at La Licorne.

Some I have seen -a long time ago- but will be really nice to be able to revisit them once again. These are the films that will be shown.

La Bataille du Rail (The Battle of the Railes), René Clément, France, 1946 - Restored
Boudu Sauve Des Eaux (Boudu Saved from Drowning), Jean Renoir, France, 1932 - Restored with unseen footage
