Cannes Winners / Trailer for Hallelujah

CANNES WINNERS




Ruben Ostlund won his second Palme d'Or on Saturday for his Triangle of Sadness.  My expectation, at least for the moment is that likely means this will be a TFF that does not host the Palme winner. Ostlund's previous two Cannes films (Force Majeure and The Square) did not make the Cannes-TFF connection.  That doesn't mean it can't happen just that it is historically unlikely.

Films that could have a boost with Cannes accolades leading to a Telluride selection:

Lukas Dhont's Close (tied for the Grand Prix)
Claire Denis' Stars at Noon (tied for Grand Prix)
Park Chan-wook's Decision to Leave (Best Direction)
Jerzy Skolimowski's EO (tied for Jury Prize)
The Dardennes Brothers' Tori and Lokita (Special 75th Anniversary Award)
Ali Abassi's Holy Spider (Best Actress-Zar Amir-Ebrahimi)
Hirokazu Kore-eda's Broker (Best Actor-Song Kang-ho)




TRAILER FOR HALLELUJAH




The documentary about Leonard Cohen's most famous song that played as a part of the TFF #48 lineup has a trailer now.  The release happened this week from distrib Sony Pictures Classics.  The film is scheduled for release on July 1st.
