Here's your weekly look at my take on films that I think are the TFF #49 choices. First, a refresher for last week's Ten Bets plus other possibilities:
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 Possibilities: 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
And here are your latest Ten Bets:
1) One Fine Morning/Hansen-Love
2) The Son/Zeller
3) Close/Dhont
4) Armageddon Time/Gray
5) Bardo/Inarritu
6) TAR/Fields
7) Women Talking/Polley
8) Aftersun/Wells
9) The Pale Blue Eye/Cooper
10) The Master Gardener/P. Schrader
Others Possibilities: Broker/Kore-eda, Showing Up/Reichardt, Tori and Lokita/Dardennes, Holy Spider/Abbasi, The Forger/Peren, She Said/M. Schrader, Tuesday/Oniunas-Pusic, The Fire Within/Herzog, The U.S. and the Holocaust/Burns, The Wonder/Lelio, Blonde/Dominik.
Notes: Armageddon Time moves up as do Bardo and TAR. Women Talking drops a bit based on a World of Reel story you will find below.
I've moved Babylon off the list of possibilities for the time being though it could slide back on. I've put Andrew Dominik's Blonde back on based on persistent buzz that the film will screen at Venice.
TORONTO FILMS - AN EVOLVING LIST
TIFF is using a drip-drip-drip method of announcing World Premieres that they haven't used before. As that list grows, I will be posting so we know which films are at TIFF and won't be at TFF#49. Those announced to date are:
Green Onions: A Knives Out Mystery
Brother
Bros
On the Come Up
The Woman King
My Policeman
and Jordan Ruimy at World of Reel says The Greatest Beer Run Ever will also be a TIFF World Premiere.
NEXT BEST PICTURE GUESSES TELLURIDE (and Venice and Toronto)
Following their weekly podcast that focused on the Big Three fall film fests. Matt Neglia and the Next Best Picture crew posted a written version of their guesses nd predictions for what films are going where. Here that is with films that I have on the Ten Bets list and/or as possibilities indicates with ***
TELLURIDE FILM FESTIVAL
Aftersun (Dir. Charlotte Wells)***
Armageddon Time (Dir. James Gray)***
Bardo (Dir. Alejandro González Iñárritu)***
Broker (Dir. Hirokazu Kore-eda)***
Close (Dir. Lukas Dhont)***
Decision To Leave (Dir. Park Chan-wook)
EO (Dir. Jerzy Skolimowski)
Holy Spider (Dir. Ali Abbasi)***
The Master Gardener (Dir. Paul Schrader)***
One Fine Morning (Dir. Mia Hansen-Løve)***
The Pale Blue Eye (Dir. Scott Cooper) - WORLD PREMIERE***
See How They Run (Dir. Tom George) - WORLD PREMIERE
She Said (Dir. Maria Schrader) - WORLD PREMIERE***
Showing Up (Dir. Kelly Reichardt)***
The Son (Dir. Florian Zeller) - WORLD PREMIERE***
Tár (Dir. Todd Field)***
Tori and Lokita (Dir. The Dardenne Brothers)***
Triangle Of Sadness (Dir. Ruben Östlund)
The Whale (Dir. Darren Aronofsky)
Women Talking (Dir. Sarah Polley) - WORLD PREMIERE***
As you can see, there is extensive overlap between the NBP list and my Ten Bets. NBP has five films listed that I don't and any of the five wouldn't be a real shocker if included: Decision to Leave, EO, See How They Run, Triangle of Sadness or The Whale.
Here's what Matt and the NBP folks have as Venice premieres that would jump the Atlantic to play at TFF a couple of days later:
Bardo, The Master Gardener, TAR and The Whale. Another note...NBP has Andrew Dominik's Blonde playing both Venice and Toronto but not T-ride. So...to anyone with any juice at Netflix or within the programmers at TFF...hear my plea that Blonde makes a stop in Colorado between the two.
WOMEN TALKING WHERE?
Another Jordan Ruimy/World of Reel post of interest this week was the buzz about which fall fest was going to land Sarah Polley's Women Talking as a World Premiere. I have felt relatively confident that it would play Telluride as Polley has made the trip to the San Juans previously but who knows?
Ruimy suggests that Toronto wants it very badly as a WP and should Polley and distributor United Artists/Orion go that way...no TFF #49. If Venice lands it, TFF #49 remains a possibility. Of course Polley's last feature length film, the doc Stories We Tell, did the Venice/Telluride dance in 2012 but the distributor there was Roadside Attractions.
Stay tuned.
