MORE TITLES FOR CANNES
.jpg)
Since my last post a week ago the Cannes Film Fest has added the remaining titles for its 95th edition, named a Palme d'Or jury and an Un Certain Regard opening night film. Despite all of the new selections I ma hard pressed to put my finger on a single film that is suggestive of a leap from France to Colorado in early September.
After the initial round of films were announced I landed on these as the most likely unseen candidates to add to the tradition of films doing the Cannes-Telluride tango:
The Stars at Noon
Tori and Lokita
Close
Armageddon Time
Broker
RMN
Showing Up
Upon further reflection I might add:
Armageddon Time
Armageddon Time
Holy Spider
Moonage Daydream

NETFLIX ADDS INARRITU
Multiple outlets reported yesterday that Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths has been acquired for distribution by Netflix. Most readers of this space know that I have had Bardo on a number of preliminary lists for a slot at TFF #49 for quite some time based on Inarritu's extensive relationship with the festival for many years dating back to Babel in 2006.
The acquisition by Netflix only adds to the likelihood as the streaming giant has become a major player at Telluride over the last several years with films such as The Power of the Dog, Marriage Story and Roma all flying the Netflix banner at Telluride.
It seems likely enough that Ioncinema reported the story and included this comment:
"...expected to wrap by fall for what should be a Venice Film Festival premiere (plus Telluride), the Netflix folks are getting into the Iñárritu business landing the rights to revised title BARDO, Chronicle of a Handful of Truths."
In addition to the Ioncinema story, the acquisition was reported by:
