This year's Competition is heavy on European fare but the lightest Yank presence since 2006. Asia makes a strong showing. Cannes has given competition berths to Quentin Tarantino's World War II actioner "Inglourious Basterds," toplining Brad Pitt, and Lee's "Talking Woodstock," a comedic take on the legendary concert, with Liev Schreiber, Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Emile Hirsch." in festival-cannes.com
