Hi there... from Massachusetts.
Yes, the Post-ish-Covid 2021 Art Show Circuit continues with the second and final show of the summer season so I am on the road.
Blew a tire on I-90 today, got the donut spare on after a bit of a struggle and thanks to Conner at Mavis Tire in Chatham, NY and the crew there...got a new tire on before the end of the business day.
Despite the delayed arrival and the eminent Berkshires Art Fest, here's your Thursday edition of MTFB and, as promised, an updated Ten Bets for TFF #48...there's a wrinkle or two.
Last week's Ten Bets (and "Other Possibles" list):
1) The Power of the Dog/Campion
2) Muhammad Ali/Burns, Burns and McMahon
3) The Card Counter/Schrader
4) Nightmare Alley/Del Toro
5) The Velvet Underground/Haynes
6) Bergman Island/Hansen-Love
7) Cow/Arnold
8) A Hero/Farhadi
9) Blonde/Dominik
10) The Story of Looking/Cousins
Don't discount the possibility of: Dune, Julia, Mothering Sunday, Petite Maman, Where Is Anne Frank?, Paris 13th District and The Eyes of Tammy Faye.
News this week about films from Pedro Almodovar (see below) and Mark Cousins has altered this week's Ten Bets which look like this:
1) The Power of the Dog/Campion
2) Muhammad Ali/Burns. Burns and McMahon
3) The Story of Looking/Cousins
4) Madres Paralelas (Parallel Mothers)/Almodovar
5) The Card Counter/Schrader
6) The Storms of Jeremy Thomas/Cousins
7) Nightmare Alley/Del Toro
8) A Hero/Farhadi
9) The Velvet Underground/Haynes
10) Cow/Arnold
Other Possibles: Dune, Julia, Mothering Sunday, Petite Maman, Where Is Anne Frank?, Paris 13th District and The Eyes of Tammy Faye, Blonde and Bergman Island.
Will update again next Thursday.
A NEW POSSIBILITY EMERGES
We found out this week that Pedro Almodovar's Parallel Mothers and Mark Cousins' The Storms of Jeremy Thomas are both going to be available to program for TFF #48 if Telluride Fest programmers decide to include them.
Almodovar, who for a long while had a run at Telluride recently has been absent. There had been a 13 year stretch between 2006's Volver and TFF #46 in 2019 when Pain and Glory screened. I think that return and the success of P&G (Two Oscar nominations for Best International Feature and for Best Actor for Antonio Banderas) makes Parallel Mothers, starring 2006 TFF Tribute recipient Penelope Cruz, a very real possibility for a TFF #48 slot.
Parallel Mothers is set for release in Spain on Sept. 10th.
TRAILER FOR MANY SAINTS
One of the films that Warner Bros. could bring to Telluride is the Sopranos prequel The Many Saints of Newark. The film is set for an Oct. 1st release date (after some juggling among the WB lineup this past week). Warners dropped a trailer for the film which you can enjoy here thanks to YouTube:
