Kirsten Dunst's short film Bastard will be premiering on the closing night of this year's Cannes Film Festival, and two high-resolution images from the film have come online.  Co-written and directed by Dunst, here's what she said about her movie:

"This film explores what makes the unbelievable believable. When we hear a story that seems mysterious or far-fetched, we put more trust in its accuracy the longer ago it took place. As the centuries pass, the truth becomes more malleable. We grow less skeptical of what we might otherwise dismiss as incredible. Our perspective changes. This film addresses the eerie transformation of a familiar myth when displaced to the present."

Bastard stars Brian Geraghty, Juno Temple, Lukas Haas, Joel David, Moore Lee, Thompson Young, and L.M. Kit Carson.  Hit the jump to check out the high resolution images.
