The Cannes Film Festival is four months away, but we’re starting to get a clearer picture of what the suspected titles to play in competition will be for the upcoming 2020 edition.
An interesting title that kept popping upthat will not be part of the 2020 edition is Christian Petzold’s “Undine,” for the simple reason that it has already been announced as being part of the competition for this February’s Berlin Film Festival. Another two titles that can also be taken out as candidates for Cannes include “Raw” director Julia Ducourneau’s “Titane,” and Miguel Gomes’ “Selvajaria,” both in pre-production.
And so, without further ado, here is the most up-to-date list of possible Cannes 2020 competition titles. I’ve amassed 21 potential movies, but the list will be updated monthly up through March and on a weekly basis, when things heat up, in April.
