French-based Jonathan Pinchot spitballed his own list of possible Cannes 2022 titles. He’s missing a few that I’ve already mentioned (see below), but 7 titles Pinchot seems to believe are Cannes-bound are total news to me. I thought many of these were in pre-production (safe for Peele).
Nope — Jordan Peele
Untitled — Na Hong-Jin
Anatomy of a Fall — Justine Triet
The Children of Others — Rebecca Zolotowski
The Beast — Bertrand Bonello
Z — Michael Hazanavicius
Blossoms — Wong Kar-Wai
Does anyone have any insight on these?
What exactly is going on with Wong Kar-Wai’s “Blossoms”? It’s been in post-production for a few years now. Maybe it’s awaiting the OK from the Chinese censorship board? These kind of things move very slowly in China. Sometimes, at a snail’s pace.
The reason I believe Pinchot’s assertion, that Peele’s “Nope” could make it into the Cannes lineup, is purely based on the French loving Peele’s films. “Get Out” made Cahiers du Cinema’s 2017 top ten and “Us” was well-reviewed there as well.
