As our Man in Cannes alluded earlier , there’s a dearth of quality films to hold the interest of this year’s festival attendees. And now there’s also a dearth of quality filmmakers to hold their interest — led by the legendary Jean-Luc Godard, who was hilariously a no-show for the press conference and premiere of his fest entry Film Socialisme . Oh, and for those keeping score at home, Sean Penn isn’t coming either.

The line-up for the 2010 Cannes Film Festival was announced this morning from Paris, and first things first: There is no Terrence Malick on this list. His Brad Pitt/Sean Penn-starring cosmic mindblower Tree of Life won’t be finished in time and/or the famously publicity-shy filmmaker just doesn’t want to deal with the world media, so instead you get slouches like Woody Allen, Jean-Luc Godard, Stephen Frears and Oliver Stone (out of competition) and Mike Leigh, Abbas Kiarostami, Alejandro González Iñárritu and Apichatpong Weerasethakul (in competition). Doug Liman is the only American vying for the Palme d’Or, premiering his Valerie Plame film Fair Game , while his countrymen Lodge Kerrigan and Gregg Araki occupy spots in the Un Certain Regard and Midnight sections. Oh, and Blue Valentine is going — sorry, France ! Click through for the complete line-up, which will unspool in the week or so following Robin Hood ‘s May 12 opening-night premiere.
