VARIETY'S BIGGEST MOVIES
In a story entitled "The Most Anticipated Movies Coming in 2021, Variety chronologically names 33 films to their list. Of that 33, seven are films that I feel like could be TFF #48 films:
The French Dispatch (which Variety says is a "summer" release)
Dune (10/1)
The Last Duel (10/15)
Nightmare Alley (December)
And films for which a release date has yet to be announced:
The Tragedy of Macbeth
Soggy Bottom (or whatever Paul Thomas Anderson ultimately calls it)
Annette
DEADLINE'S MOST INFLUENTIAL FILMS OF THE 21ST CENTURY
Deadline staff folks have come up with a listing of what they say are the most influential films of the 21st century (so far). There are 21 films named. Of that 21 six where TFF films:
Parasite
Roma
The Shape of Water
Moonlight
Slumdog Millionaire
There Will Be Blood (which I always count as a TFF film due the screening of a chunk of the film as part of the 2007 tribute to Paul Thomas Anderson)
I can't really argue with the choices from TFF but a surprising omission, to me at least, is Steve McQueen's 12 Years a Slave.
NBP SAYS THESE ARE YOUR BEST BETS FOR INTERNATIONAL FEATURE
Next Best Picture's Tom O'Brien writes in a piece dated Dec. 30, 2020 that there are 10 films out in front of the pack in the International Feature Oscar race. Of his list of 10, a couple would have played at a TFF #47: Charlatan (Czech Republic) and Never Gonna Snow Again (Poland).
I would toss in the notion that there are a couple of other TFF #47 choices that could also land in the convo: Apples (Greece) and Notturno (Italy).
