Cannes: Sarah Polley’s ‘Women Talking’ Was in Competition … [Updated]

April 12, 2022 Jordan Ruimy

UPDATE: “Women Talking” will finally not be going to Cannes, you can speculate all you want as for the reasons why, but I’ll refrain.

The latest Cannes update had Sarah Polley’s “Women Talking’” taking one of the few remaining competition slots, but now we’re not entirely sure if she’s in anymore. Maybe it’s Un CertIn Regard now?

Cannes boss Thierry Fremaux has stated that it is going to most likely be a 20-21 film competition. We kind of already suspect the following to make it:

Broker — Hirokazu Kore-eda
Triangle of Sadness — Ruben Ostlund
Decision to Leave — Park Chan-wook
Disappointment Blvd. — Ari Aster
Crimes of the Future — David Cronenberg
Showing Up — Kelly Reichardt
The Eternal Daughter — Joanna Hogg
Tori et Lokita — Jean-Pierre & Luc Dardenne
Scarlet— Pietro Marcello
R.M.N — Cristian Mungiu
One Fine Morning — Mia Hansen Love
Frere et Soeur — Arnaud Desplechin
L'immensità — Emanuele Crialese
Revoir Paris — Alice Winocour
The Five Devils — Léa Mysius
Chronique d'une liaison passagère — Emmanuel Mouret
Close — Lukas Dhont

That’s 17 films. On the outside looking in could be …

Women Talking — Sarah Polley
Unrecorded Night — David Lynch (Out of Competition???)
Enys Men — Mark Jenkin
Tchaikovsky’s Wife — Kirill Serebrennikov
Three Thousand Years of Longing — George Miller
Love Life — Koji Fukada
El Estado Del Imperio — Emat Escalante
Gjirokastra — Alexander Sokurov
Une Femme de Notre Temps — Jean Paul Civeyrac
Holy Spider — Ali Abassi

Canadian filmmaker Polley hasn’t made a film since the acclaimed 2012 documentary “Stories We Tell. ”Before then, she had made two powerful original dramas, “Away From Her,” and “Take This Waltz.” She finally returns with “Women Talking” and an incredible cast that includes Frances McDormand, Claire Foy, Rooney Mara, Jessie Buckley, and Ben Whishaw.

The film centers on an isolated Mennonite religious colony in Bolivia as the women struggle with their faith in God after a string of sexual assaults committed by the colony’s men.
