SPYING ON CANNES
We continue to be in the "in-between times". That is to say between the Oscar nomination announcement and the actual Oscars...also the announcement of the lineup for the Cannes Film Festival. So one of the things I like to do here at MTFB is try to keep an eye on the speculation about what will play at Cannes. As frequent readers know, the overlap between films that screen in May in France and then Labor Day at Telluride is usually pronounced.
So, today we take our annual first look at the Cannes projection list from Jordan Ruimy at World of Reel. Form that list of films, here are what seem to me the most likely TFF #53 players:
Jack of Spades/J. Coen
Paper Tiger/Gray
The Way of the Wind/Malick
Mintaul/Zvyagnistev
Parallel Tales/Farhadi
Coward/Dhont
1949/Pawlikowski
Sheep in the Box/Kore-eda
Butterfly Jam/Balagov
The Basics of Philosophy/Schrader
Untitled Mike Leigh/Leigh
On Land and Sea/Palmason
The Long Winter/Haigh
Bucking Fastard/Herzog
At the Sea/Mundruczo
And among possible French films at Cannes:
If Love Should Die/Hansen-Love
Moulin/Nemes
