CANNES CRITICS FOR WEEK ONE

Screen Daily has their top five thus far (on a four point scale):
1) Caught by the Tides 2.6
2) Emilia Perez 2.5
3) Kinds of Kindness 2.4
4) Bird 2.3
4) Three Kilometers from the End of the World
Ioncinema's panel's top five (on a five point scale):
1) Emilia Perez 3.7
2) Caught by the Tides 3.5
3) Oh, Canada 3.1
4) Bird 2.9
5) The Girl with the Needle 2.8
The International Cinephile Society's top five (on a four point scale):
1) Caught by the Tides 3.28
2) Bird 3.00
3) Oh, Canada 2.70
4) The Substance 2.69
5) The Girl with the Needle 2.65
5) Three Kilometers from the End of the World 2.65
Normally I would have Reini Urban's massive Cannes list accessible but the link to that has been broken for a couple of days now. Perhaps by Thursday's post it will be available.
MORE ON RASOULOF'S SEED
A new note this week on the continuing journey for Mohammad Rasoulof''s The Seed of the Sacred Fig. NEON has picked up the film on Friday ahead of its premiere Cannes scheduled as the next to last film to screen in the Palme d'Or competition. The acquisition probably bolsters the chances that the Rasoulof film makes it into the TFF #51 lineup as their presence at Telluride in recent years has been substantial.
Rasoulof is currently in hiding somewhere in Europe after fleeing Iran to escape from an eight year prison sentence.
