15/05/2014 - CANNES 2014: The Cannes Marché du Film to open presales for upcoming films by Bertrand Bonello and Luca Guadagnino

The Assassin by Hou Hsiao-Hsien is also in the line-up as are animation films Le prophète (based on the work by the same name by Khalil Gibran) and Voyage Of Time by Terrence Malick (of which five minutes will be screened at the market).
