Predict the film festival in Cannes is always a tricky performance. Some movies can you expect to watch the Croiset – and we expected many who did not make the cut Thursday morning – Either are not ready or decided to go the way for the fall Festivals.
Or worse, Thierry Frémaux and his team just didn’t go for them. The festival programs looked at a record 2,909 functional submissions this year and spread elections over the main competition, the UN some consideration and the non-competitive sections. More official selection films will be announced, he said. So any of the guys below can change, and IndieWire understands that the festival has not shown all the possibilities yet.
Internationally loved author and confident in drawing new work to Kanes This year includes Ari Aster (“Eddington”, who puts him in the Cannes competition for the first time), Kelly Reichardt (“The Mastermind”), Richard Linklater (“Nouveelle Vague”), Wes Anderson (“The Phoenician Scheme”), Jafar Panahi (“a simple accident”, Or Wear Julia Dugia Dugia Dus D’Ama Dus D’MA Dema Dema Dide Andera Dide) (“Alpha”), Dardennes (“Young Mothers”) and Joachim Trier (“Sentimental Value”).
But a few we had linked as safe bets were no shows during April 10-disclosure.
Not showing up among the six female directors in the competition this year, so far, Lynne Ramsay was with “Die, my love“A supposed horror-comedy that would bring jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson to the Glittery Palais Red Carpet. All of Ramsay’s Films Have Premiered at Cannes, Including Her Last Feature, 2017’s” You WERE NEVER REALLY. “Die, my love” wrapped in canada in case 2024, so you’d think this in theory should’ve been ready for cannes by now.
Fremaux proclaimed the six female directors in the competition on Thursday morning; Ramsay could have been a seventh election, and if she was part of the competition at some point, you would think he would like the very-scary state right now.
Another film It would do for a Buzzy Cannes Red Carpet is Spike Lee’s “Highest 2 Lowest”, an English -language transformation by Akira Kurosawas “High and Low” and by lead Denzel Washington and a $ AP Rocky. A24-Apple Partnership recorded filming in New York, with Kinematographer Matthew Libatique, last summer. Lee won the Grand Jury Prize for “Blackkklansman” 2018 and served as jury president 2021. What gives? This can still appear as a competition (or even competition) later-or it is about to fall festivals. But we are still convinced that it will appear on Cannes, the now proven first stop for prices for prices.
No one should have invested money, at least, on Terrence Malick who ended his long -haunting “The Way of the Wind”, a biblical epic about Jesus’ life which he reportedly has edited for six years. (According to a Movie step reporthe has started cultivating editing tasks to his Own role.) Cannes has mostly ignored its late career exit, with the exception of Palme d’Or the winner “The Tree of Life” and 2019 Palme-nominated “A Hidden Life.” “The Wind’s Road” may not happen again, again – even if rumors continue to swirl that it could appear in the range later.
Speaking of films that have potentially not been made, “Long Day’s Journey in Night” (UN Sami, 2018) Chinese filmmaker Bi Gan’s “Resurrection”, another format-experimental epic, did not show up anywhere in the lineup. Indiewire hears that BI is still ending the Sci-Fi mystery with long production.
Where are South Korean filmmakers Park Chan-Wook‘S “No Other Choice”, a dark comedy (and adaptation of Donald Westlake’s novel “The Ax”) with “Squid Game” Badie Lee Byung-Hun? The production did not hit until January of the latest from the winner “decision to leave” Cannes best director, which made the festival deadline a challenging horizon. Park’s latest project was the acclaimed Vietnam War Espionage series “The Sympathizer”, which premiered at HBO in the spring of 2024.
At the same time, Jim Jarmusch’s “father, mother, sister, brother” would bring the Cate Blanchett and the Adam driver to the Palais mat, but the film was not announced on Thursday as part of any range. Filming was wrapped over a year ago on anthology drama about foreign siblings who were reunited, with stories shot in New Jersey, Paris and Dublin. Jarmusch is a Cannes pillars, with “The Dead Don’t Die” which opens the festival and in the 2019 competition. Don’t figure him out for a late break.
It seems that we have to wait until Venice, Telluride and Toronto on movies from László Nemes (“Orphan”), Karim Aïnouz (“Rosebush pruning”), Kogonada (“a big daring beautiful trip,” set for a September Sony Pictures Still), and “Yes! en Sony Pictures -släpp ändå), Nadav Lapid (“Ja!”), Och Alice WinCOC (COUT “med COUT” med en Sony Pictures släpp ändå), Nadav Lapid (“Ja!”), Och Alice WinCOC (COUT “med COUT” med Angel med Angel Jina Jina Jina Jina Jina Jina Jina med Angel. Inte i Cannes -sortimentet efter att ha förpackats In Latvia and Malta last summer, Kristen Stewart’s function was directed, which directed his debut “The Chronology of Water”, which was previously speculated as a Sundance 2025 opportunity.
Some surprises: Nothing yet on Arnaud Desplechin’s “A Business”, although the French director is a Cannes Perenn. At the same time, after the Holocaust drama “The Disppearance of Josef Mengele”, from Russian filmmaker Kirill Serebrennikov, it was satisfied to a premiere in the Cannes premiere. Sebrennikov’s films always premiere in the competition, from “Petrov’s influence” to last year’s “Limonov”, but reception to the political biopiken was lukewarm. Not on most radar, in the meantime, was Chilean director Sebastián Lelio’s musical “The Wave”, inspired by the feminist protests 2018 that broke out in his country. It also plays by the competition in Cannes Premiere.
A movie to keep an eye on for predictions about early competition divisions: Jafar Panahi’s “A simple accident.” Fremaux announcement included the first title revealing the Iranian dissident filmmaker’s composed new film that we do not know anything about (and probably for legal reasons). His “3 Faces” 2018 was up for the Palme d’Or and won the best script the year after several functions in other sections: “Crimson Gold” in 2003’s UN certain considerations and “The White Balloon” 1995, which won the camera d’Or.
The director’s personal story adapts him to last year’s competition film creator, Iran’s Mohammad Rasoulof (“The Seed of the Sacred Fig”, the winner of a special jury award before receiving an Oscar nomination via the co-producer Germany), which eventually could participate in the 2024 festival after moving his country. Panahi has met legal battles for several years; He was arrested and freed since 2022 In the middle of a hunger strike while in prison for his protests against the Islamic Republic of Iran. He had previously been banned from filmmaking or from leaving Iran. He has been out in his country since 2023, was unknown, after his travel bargo is lifted. Hopefully he can get to the festival personally.
Please note that neon – on a Cannes hot streak after six consecutive Palme d’Or wins with “Anora” the latest – has North American rights to competition titles “Alpha” and “Sentimental Value” so far.
