I am particularly pleased with the love for Living, the nominations for Jeremy Storng and Ben Whishaw in Supporting Actor and, of course, the Marcel nomination.





BIFA AND TFF #49




The British Independent Film Awards were named  this past week and TFF #49 fils garnered nine awards led by Aftersun which won more BIFAs than any other film with seven.  The Wonder and Living each picked up a single accolade.  here's the breakdown:

Aftersun: Best British Independent Film, Direction, Debut Director, Screenplay, Cinematography, Editing and Music Supervision.

The Wonder: Best Original Music.

Living: Best Production Design.


THE PLAYIST 100 AND TFF #50



As has become my habit, here is my review of The Playlist's just published 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2023 and some guesses as to what from that list that could make the lineup of the 50thedition of the Telluride Film Festival.  

Last year I ended up naming five films that DID play TFF #49: TAR, Armageddon Time, Bardo, Bones and All and Women Talking.  Looking back, it seems 5-6 films is about my average to get right from this exercise and generally they are films that are among the top 20 of the list.

Here are this year's guesses in the order that they appear on the list;

84) Rustin
78) Shirley
77) The Royal Hotel
66) The End
39) Strangers
37) The Actor
35) Nightbitch
34) The Way of the Wind
33) Love Lies Bleeding
29) Beth and Don
27) Megalopolis
16) Blitz
15) May/December
14) El Conde
11) Zone of Interest
10) Maestro
8) Priscilla
7) Poor Things
2) The Killer
1) Killers of the Flower Moon

Admittedly, The Killer and Flower Moon are likely more wishful thinking but a guy can dream.
