The Nines at Cannes

In case you’re wandering La Croisette, wondering where all the interlocking three-part dramas with unexpected science-fiction elements are, you might want to check out The Nines, which has three market screenings scheduled this week:

* Wednesday, May 16th at 12:00pm – Palais K (Market)
* Friday, May 18th at 8:00pm – Palais K (Market)
* Monday, May 21st at 11:00am – The Deauville / Majestic Hotel (Market)

This is also a unique opportunity to see the movie with its sparkling new French subtitles:
