Another masterpiece incoming?

First trailer for Miguel Gomes GRAND TOUR playing in competition in Cannes.

I somehow remain entirely unconvinced that Scorsese's Jesus movie will be only 80 minutes.

Tarantino’s head is far up his own ass with all this 10-film perfect filmography hubris. It's clearly creatively crippling when stakes are as high as only 1 more film in my life, gotta be a magnum opus. Guess what, it ain't no 10 perfect films. He's already made several clunkers.

Sundance doesn't necessarily have the name of a city in its title. Otherwise, how would that have worked? For example you can't move the Cannes Film Festival or NYFF to TIFF to another city.

A tough call but here's a candidate - haunting and memorable.

THE DAY AFTER or GOOD TIME.

Those were the days. I can't imagine Cannes putting Hong in Competition today. #Cannes #Cannes 2024 #Competition

0.5 Palme d'Ors (Campion) for women in 73 years* and then 3 in 4 years (Ducournau, Triet, Kapadia?)? The ball is in Greta Gerwig's court.

*Léa & Adèle don't really count.

David Cronenberg on one of the hottest streaks in modern cinema.

A DANGEROUS METHOD, COSMOPOLIS, MAPS TO THE STARS, CRIMES OF THE FUTURE all bangers. Hoping THE SHROUDS is one too. #Competition #Cannes2024

Why is MISÉRICORDE not in Competition at Cannes? 😭😭😭

STRANGER BY THE LAKE? Masterpiece.
STANDING VERTICAL? Masterwork.
NOBODY'S HERO? Magnificent.

What more does Alain GUIRAUDIE need to do? #Cannes2024

Miguel Gomes' TABU remains a miracle and a half after all these years, one of the greatest, most extraordinary films of the new century. That alone is enough to make GRAND TOUR one of the most anticipated films of the year. #Cannes2024 #GrandTour

A seismic moment for Indian cinema. Payal Kapadia's ALL WE IMAGINE AS LIGHT is the 1st Indian film in Competition in Cannes in 30 years, the last was 1994's MY OWN. Just overall the 3rd film in 50 yrs. For a country that makes as many movies as India, a remarkably sparse showing.

This Alan Ritchson interview has stunning candor & vulnerability from a Hollywood leading man action star. Especially gratifying off late has been Ritchson's frank admission of testosterone usage - a beacon of transparency in Hollywood. via Chris Gardner

Been in this cesspool 2 years now. Yeesh! #MyXAnniversary

Happy to be quoted on this poster of Radu Jude's DO NOT EXPECT TOO MUCH FROM THE END OF THE WORLD.

An extraordinarily free, brazen & convention-shattering film.

Read my The Playlist review theplaylist.net/do-not-expect-…

And watch the film!

At 119 mins, #TheShrouds will be the longest film of David Cronenberg's career. At 119 minutes. If that doesn't fill you with admiration, I don't know what will.

Other directors take not.
