French-Polish director Roman Polanski has set his sight on the top prize with ‘Venus in Fur’. He last won the prize in 2002 for the semi-autobiographical ‘The Pianist’ about the Warsaw ghetto. This year he explores the relationship between director and actor, with his wife Emmanuelle Seigner taking the lead.

Euronews correspondent Frédéric Ponsard reports direct from the red carpet:

“The screenings are now over, the 20 films have all been shown to the jury and voting has begun. This year was the selection was very balanced and many films have a chance at clinching the Palme d’Or: Venus in Fur by Roman Polanski, A Touch of Sin by Jia Zhang Ke or Inside Llewyn Davis by the Coen brothers. Among the outsiders: La Grande Bellezza by Paolo Sorrentino and La vie d’Adèle by Abdellatif Kechiche.”

‘La Vie d’Adele’, or ‘Blue is the Warmest Colour’ has critics falling over themselves to praise its depiction of an intimate love story between two women.

It is being called the revelation of the Festival, putting it in good stead to sweep the board for its director and two leading ladies.

American director Jim Jarmusch has offered up a tale of retro-cool vampire love, with ‘Only Lovers Left Alive’. Starring indie favourite Tilda Swinton, Jarmusch joked that he made a film starring supernatural bloodsuckers after hearing you could make a lot of money with them.

http://www.euronews.net/ Croatia’s ‘Yes’ vote to join the European Union puts it on course to be the club’s 28th member in July 2013. But the low turnout last Sunday suggests the EU does not have the X-factor it once did.

Less than half of Croatians eligible to took part in the referendum, even if 66 percent vote in favour. While it is unclear if that lack of support was down to Europe’s debt troubles, it raises the question: which country will be next and will there be the desire to join?
