TEN BETS #4
While we wait for some full-scale announcements from the Toronto International Film Festival which should give us some serious insight about the way the fall film slate is going to shake out...
Here's a re-cap of last week's Ten Bets:
1) One Fine Morning/Hansen-Love
2) The Son/Zeller
3) Close/Dhont
4) Women Talking/Polley
5) Aftersun/Wells
6) Bardo/Inarritu
7) TAR/Fields
8) Showing Up/Reichardt
9) Broker/Kore-eda
10) Armageddon Time/Gray
Others: The Pale Blue Eye/Cooper, The Master Gardener/P. Schrader, Tori and Lokita/Dardennes, Holy Spider/Abbasi, The Forger/Peren, Babylon/Chazelle, She Said/M. Schrader
And here is your fresh Ten Bets:
1) One Fine Morning/Hansen-Love
2) The Son/Zeller
3) Close/Dhont
4) Women Talking/Polley
5) Aftersun/Wells
6) Bardo/Inarritu
7) TAR/Fields
8) Armageddon Time/Gray
9) The Pale Blue Eye/Cooper
10) The Master Gardener/P. Schrader
Others Possibilties: Broker/Kore-eda, Showing Up/Reichardt, Tori and Lokita/Dardennes, Holy Spider/Abbasi, The Forger/Peren, Babylon/Chazelle, She Said/M. Schrader, Tuesday/Oniunas-Pusic, The Fire Within/Herzog, The U.S. and the Holocaust/Burns, The Wonder/Lelio
The top seven remain unchanged as Armageddon Time moves up The Master Gardener returns as a "Bet" and Scott Cooper's Pale Blue Eye moves onto he "Bets" for the first time this summer.
Broker and Showing Up have slipped into the "Other Possibilities" section.
PAUL SCHRADER: ANOTHER HONOR
News from Deadline that Paul Schrader will be honored in August at the Sarajevo Film Festival with the "Heart of Sarajevo". That news comes after it was previously announced that Shrader will be honored for lifetime achievement at the Venice Film Festival.
The Sarajevo announcement reveals that Schrader will be screening The Card Counter and doing a Masterclass as part of the Sarajevo program. No mention of a screening of The Master Gardener which almost certainly will screen at Venice.
A NEW FILM TO CONTEMPLATE
News this week that Cannes' Jury prize-winner The Eight Mountains had been jointly acquired for distribution by Janus Films and Sideshow. That bumps the film co-directed by Felix van Groeningen (Beautiful Boy and Broken Circle Breakdown) and Charlotte Vadermeersch squarely into the Telluride conversation.
Janus' past Telluride appearances have included:
The Eyes of Orson Welles
Cameraperson
Le Havre
Janus also has distribution for a couple of other TFF #49 possibilities: Tori and Lokita and EO. A TFF selection would be a first for Sideshow.
