Beginning the New Cycle / Petite Maman Has a Trailer for the U.S./ More Killers for Ya / World of Reel Survey: The Best of the '70's

BEGINNING THE NEW CYCLE

Oscars #94 are in the book and so it's time to get serious about potential titles for TFF# 49.  To that end, I'm parsing this week's post from Indiewire that names their 50 hoped for films for the Cannes Film Fest, which as many MTFB readers know, is often the starting line for films that make The SHOW.  So...here are films from the Indiewire list that seem to me to be Telluride potentials:

Armageddon Time/James Gray

Broker/Hirokazu Kore-eda

Close/Lukas Dhont

Crimes of the Future/David Cronenberg

Holy Spider/Ali Abbasi

One Fine Morning/Mia Hansen-Love

RMN/Cristian Mungiu

She Said/Maria Schrader

Showing Up/Kelly Reichardt

The Son/Florian Zeller

Sparta/Ulrich Seidel

Tori and Lokita/The Dardennes Brothers

The Way of the Wind/Terrence Malick

The Whale/Darren Aronofsky

Women Talking/Sarah Polley

The complete list from Indiewire is linked here.

PETITE MAMAN HAS A TRAILER FOR THE U.S.

Celine Sciamma's critically acclaimed Petite Maman, which was a part of the TFF #48 lineup, has a U.S. trailer as of this week.  The film's poster can be seen above and the film drops in the U.S. on April 22nd.

Here's the trailer:

MORE KILLERS FOR YA

Word from The Tulsa World (after a heads up from Jordan Ruimy's World of Reel) that Martin Scorsese will be returning to Oklahoma in May to shoot additional footage for Killers of the Flower Moon.

As close readers of MTFB know, I was a background player for KOTFM in August.  Reading between the lines of the Tulsa World story, it doesn't seem likely that I'll be called back for the new scenes.

Here's the link to the story from The Tulsa World.

Of course it is my great hope that Killers plays Telluride this year.  I will volunteer to be present as a "cast member" for each of its screenings at The SHOW.  A friend of mine who also worked the film gifted me with a cast/crew baseball cap this week.  You might see me sporting it on Labor Day weekend.

WORLD OF REEL SURVEY THE BEST OF THE 70'S

Speaking of Ruimy's World of Reel, he posted a survey of folk about the best films of the 1970's on Mar. 31.  

Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather topped the list.

 Somewhat unbelievably, I was included in the survey.  Others that were also counted included:

David Ansen/Newsweek

Peter DeBruge/Variety

Scott Feinberg/The Hollywood Reporter

Peter Howell/The Toronto Star

Larry Karaszewski/Screenwriter, The People vs. Larry Flynt

Dave Karger/Turner Classic Movies

Eric Kohn/Indiewire

Todd McCarthy/Deadline

Daniel Waters/Screenwriter, Heathers

The 15 films I submitted (and where they ended up in the overall)
