Behind the scenes at the May 15-26 Cannes Film Festival: BLOOD 'N' GUTS: Sex may be considered a bit passe at the movies these days. But directors seem to have no qualms about violence. Scenes of genitals being set alight and other horrors in Mexican film "Heli" on Thursday left some in the audience feeling distinctly queasy. And there's more bloodcurdling stuff coming up. A trailer shown on Wednesday gave a sneak preview of upcoming films including Ryan Gosling smashing a glass in a man's face in Nicolas Winding Refn's Bangkok underworld "Only God Forgives".

Mexican director Amat Escalante defended his ultraviolent film in competition Thursday at Cannes, calling it an accurate depiction of his country's blood-drenched drug wars. "Heli", one of 20 pictures vying for the festival's Palme d'Or top prize, offers an unflinching look at an unspeakably vicious circle of underworld crime and vengeance. But its protracted torture scenes, including one in which a character sets the genitals of a suspected cocaine thief ablaze, left several queasy critics running for the aisles.
