LAST SHOT AT CANNES
Jordan Ruimy at World of Reel has been keeping a steady eye on the speculation about what may be screening at the 78th Cannes Film Festival. His extensive list has been developing for months. Now, on the brink of the titles being revealed (on Thursday, April 10th) we take a last look at his predictions and assess possible Telluride selections. From Ruimy's list, the most likely TFF #52 players are:
After the Hunt/Amazon-MGM/Luca Guadagnino
Couture/No Distrib/Alice Winocour
Die, My Love/No Distribution/Lynne Ramsay
Orphan/No Distrib/Laszlo Nemes
The Disappearance of Joseph Mengele/No Distribution/Kirill Serebrennikov
The History of Sound/Mubi/Oliver Hermanus
The Love That Remains/No Distrib/Hylnur Palmason
The Mastermind/Mubi/Kelly Reichardt
The Magnificent Life of Marcel Pagnol/Sony Pictures Classics/Sylvain Chomet
The Way of the Wind/No Distribution/Terrence Malick
The Young Mother's Home/No Distribution/The Dardennes Brothers
Untitled Jafar Panahi Film
A LOOK AT THE E-MAILBAG
I have a file in one of my email accounts labeled "Future Telluride". That's where I file away posts/articles about future films that, for some reason...and not always the same reason, strike me as having some Telluride Film Fest potential. There are some dating all the way back to 2014 that I've held onto.
So, anyway, I was cleaning the folder up a bit over the weekend and kind of went down a rabbit hole of films that I had tagged and that had ultimately screened at TFF over the last couple of fests. The folder contains links for TFF #50 films such as: The Zone of Interest, Poor Things, Nyad, All of Strangers and The Bikeriders. For TFF #51: The Outrun, Emilia Perez, Maria, Bird and A Sudden Glimpse to Deeper Things.
So, I thought, what the heck...what films possible for TFF #52 are tucked away in the folder? Here they are:
After the Hunt/Luca Guadagnino/Amazon-MGM
Ballad of a Small Player, The/Edward Berger/Netflix
Bride, The/Maggie Gyllenhaal/Warners
Bugonia/Yorgos Lanthimos/Focus
Deliver Me From Nowhere/Scott Cooper/Searchlight
Die, My Love/Lynne Ramsay/No Distribution
Frankenstein/Guillermo Del Toro/Netflix
Hamnet/Chloe Zhao/Focus
History of Sound, The/Oliver Hermanus/Focus
Jay Kelly/Noah Baumbach/Netflix
Magnificent Life of Marcel Pagnol, The/Sylvain Chomet/SPC
Marty Supreme/Josh Safdie/A24
Mastermind, The/Kelly Reichardt/Mubi
Pressure/Anthony Maras/Focus
Roofman/Derek Cianfrance/Miramax
Untitled Alejandro Inarritu Project/Alejandro Inarritu/Warners
Not saying these will all make the TFF #52 lineup...but I bet some of them do.
