War sequel at Cannes

BRITISH director John Boorman’s long-awaited sequel to his Oscar-nominated film “Hope and Glory” about home front life during World War II is to be screened in Cannes next month.

More than 25 years after “Hope and Glory” was a critical and box office success, “Queen and Country” picks up its semi-autobiographical story in the early 1950s with schoolboy Billy Rowan now a young soldier in Korea at the end of the conflict there.

The keenly anticipated film, co-starring David Thewlis and Richard E. Grant, will be shown as part of the independent Directors’ Fortnight program running alongside the Cannes Film Festival on the French Riviera.
