Paranoid Park, shown at the Cannes Film Festival on Monday, is Gus Van Sant's latest film, focusing on a teenager who is responsible for a man's death. The feature is up for the Palme d'Or, an award he won in 2004 for Elephant, a dramatization of the Columbine High School shootings.

In Paranoid Park, based on the Blake Nelson novel, a teenage boy's parents neglect him during their divorce, prompting him to drift away to a skate park in Portland, Ore., where he accidentally kills a security guard. (The Advocate)
