The full lineup for next month’s London Film Festival is to be revealed tomorrow — but in the meantime, the latest issue of Sight and Sound reveals a couple more exciting inclusions.
In addition to the already-announced opening and closing films (“Frost/Nixon” and “Slumdog Millionaire,” respectively), S&S confirms that the French Palme d’Or winner “The Class” will appear, with director Laurent Cantet in attendance.
The magazine also reveals that there will be twelve international premieres at the festival, including “Sugar,” the baseball-oriented film from “Half Nelson” creators Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden, which bowed to warm reviews at Sundance in January. (By “international,” they mean outside the US, obviously.)
More signs of a great festival to come. I await tomorrow’s announcement like a kid on Christmas Eve.

I don’t want to seem anal but isn’t Sugar about Baseball?
LOL… of course it is. I need more sleep.
Thanks for the copy-editing!
Right there with you, Guy. I cannot wait for the lineup.
