I’ve added seven films to my Cannes ‘22 Spitballing. Most of these are either in production or about to enter production before the year is done:
Frere et Soeur — Arnaud Desplechin
La Chimera — Alice Rohrwacher
L'envol — Pietro Marcello
Revoir Paris — Alice Winocour
Three Thousand Years of Longing — George Miller
Eureka — Lisandro Alonso
Close — Lukas Dhont
Thanks, Cricket.
Looks like this 75th edition could be a very special one. We probably have to knock on wood somewhere to hope that COVID-19 is contained in Europe by the time next May rolls around. Austria just entered a lockdown and Germany/Italy might be next. Still, as unpredictable as this pandemic has been, I don’t see a major problem arising by next summer, especially if testing sites are facilitated like they were this past June.
