The Cannes Film Festival kicks off today, setting in motion 10 days of premieres of some of the most heavily anticipated movies of the year. Inside Llewyn Davis and Blue Is the Warmest Color got their start there last year—not to mention Best Foreign Language Oscar winner The Great Beauty—and certainly some possible award-season contenders are among the 2014 lineup. With so many titles to choose from, it wasn't easy to pick just 10. But life is about making difficult choices, people.

第67届戛纳电影节于5月14日启动，拉开了为期十天的本年度最令人期待电影首映礼的帷幕。本次参竞影片阵容强大，挑选出十部最佳影片着实是一件难事。但人生就是一次次艰难的抉择。

Clouds of Sils Maria 《锡尔斯玛利亚》

Although Cannes celebrates world cinema, Hollywood is never too far from its mind. In 2014, we have David Cronenberg's Hollywood satire Maps to the Stars, as well as Clouds of Sils Maria. The latest film from director Olivier Assayas (Carlos), it stars Juliette Binoche as an aging actress who agrees to appear in a remake of the film that launched her career—except this time, she's playing the older character, replaced by a hot new talent. Co-starring Chloë Grace Moretz (as the starlet) and Kristen Stewart.

戛纳电影节上一直不乏好莱坞电影。今年入围的有大卫·柯南伯格导演的《星图》及奥利维耶•阿萨亚斯执导，朱丽叶•比诺什、科洛•莫瑞兹、克里斯汀•斯图尔特等联袂主演的美法合拍剧情片《锡尔斯玛利亚》（Clouds of Sils Maria）。

Foxcatcher 《狐狸猎手》

Foxcatcher, the latest film from director Bennett Miller (Moneyball, Capote), was supposed to come out last year during award season. Instead, its release was postponed so that Miller could fine-tune this true-life drama about the unlikely friendship between Olympic wrestler Mark Schultz (Channing Tatum) and du Pont heir John du Pont (Steve Carell). Oscar-courting movies that get yanked from the fall schedule usually raise red flags, but the fact that Foxcatcher is now premiering in the Cannes competition suggests that Sony Pictures Classics are still fully confident that they've got a winner.

贝尼特•米勒执导的最新电影《狐狸猎手》（Foxcatcher）讲述了当时著名的奥运金牌摔跤手马克·舒尔茨（查宁•塔图姆饰）与杜邦集团继承人约翰•杜邦（史蒂夫•卡瑞尔饰）之间的故事。索尼经典电影公司对其角逐戛纳自信满满。

The Homesman 《送乡人》

For all the good work that Tommy Lee Jones has done as an actor, not enough praise has gone to his directorial debut, The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, an excellent modern-day Western that won two prizes at Cannes in 2005, including a Best Actor nod for Jones. The Homesman is the first film he's directed since, and it too is a Western, about a man (Jones) in the 19th century escorting a woman (Hilary Swank) and three clinically insane patients across the Midwest.

汤米•李•琼斯曾凭《艾斯卡达的三次葬礼》获得2005年戛纳电影节最佳男演员和最佳编剧。《送乡人》（The Homesman）是他导演的首部电影，讲述19世纪一对男女护送三个精神病人穿越中西部。

Leviathan 《利维坦》

What makes it a must-see is that it's the latest movie from Russian filmmaker Andrei Zvyagintsev, whose first three efforts are all terrific. Zvyagintsev creates powerful moods and finds the extraordinary in normal lives.

安德烈•萨金塞夫（俄罗斯）执导的最新电影《利维坦》（Leviathan）入围。他的影片能够在平凡的生活中发现非同寻常的心灵感受。
