MPA Ratings Signal Two Films / Bitterbrush Trailer / Trailer for Brother and Sister

MPA RATINGS SIGNAL TWO FILMS




Next Best Pictures' Will Mavity reports that a couple of films on my TFF #49 watch list have been rated indicating that they are complete and thus would likely be available to screen at The SHOW.

Mavity Tweeted  on Tuesday that Sarah Polley's Women Talking had been rated PG-13. Polley's film makes the watch list because of a  past TFF appearance (Stories We Tell-2012) and its reception at TFF. The film topped the People's Telluride ratings that year and was #3 among the Professionals.  It still remains among the top ten all time for the Composite ratings.

The other film that Mavity mentions with an MPA rating that has TFF potential is Stephen Williams Chevalier.  Chevalier has been rated PG-13 and is on the watch list primarily because it is being distributed by Searchlight which has a long tradition of films screening at Telluride including last year's The French Dispatch.


BITTERBRUSH TRAILER

Emilie Mahdavian's documentary, Bitterbrush premiered at TFF #48 last year and though it didn't get enough responses to make the People or Pros ratings from the fest was, anecdotally, seemed to be well received.  I heard nothing but positive comments from the folks who had seen it as I was standing in line.  Iniedwire refers to the doc as a "Telluride breakout".

Now we have a trailer release for the film and a release date of June 17th.

Here's the trailer via YouTube:






TRAILER FOR BROTHER AND SISTER

another Cannes film that is on the periphery of TFF speculation is Arnaud Desplechin's Brother and Sister.

The film features past TFF Tribute recipient Marion Cotillard.  The Film Stage describes the film as follows:

"Led by Marion Cotillard & Melvil Poupaud, the film follows the siblings as they near the age of 50. Cotillard plays Alice, an actress, while Poupaud is Louis, a teacher and a poet. After being estranged for many years, the death of their parents brings them closer together."

Here's the trailer form YouTube:






That's a wrap for today.
