Salemme and Palme d’Or winner Cantet hit screens
Three European films hit screens tomorrow. First up, tomorrow Medusa is releasing on 450 screens No Problem, the new comedy directed by and starring Vincenzo Salemme. The actor-filmmaker is trying to top the success of his previous film, SMS – Sotto Mentite Spoglie, which last year garnered over €5m at the local box office.
Highly anticipated by cinephiles is Palme d’Or winner The Class [+see also:

The last European release is The Women by Diane English (BIM). The remake of George Cukor’s 1939 classic is a UK production by Mick Jagger’s Jagged Film made in co-production with the US.
Also on release is The Hurt Locker (Videa-CDE), Kathryn Bigelow’s war film in competition at the latest Venice Film Festival, Frank Darabont’s horror title The Mist (Key Films/Lucky Red) and the spoof Disaster Movie by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer (Eagle Pictures).
