Cleared its first hurdle. I mean, those trailers are hard to sit through; you have to accept that this thing will be largely uneven. Its divisiveness may not bode well for it during the Hollywood awards, but there's nothing in those reviews to scare me away from tipping it for the Palme.

I think today you've sort of seen why QT is his own worst enemy (I wouldn't pencil him in as Best Director Oscar winner either tbh) - some bad reviews - well not bad but less enraptured have landed, Tarantino short and snippy at the press conference deflecting on Polanski questions a bit (already), on Tate and why the role is so small (already). They haven't yet gotten to the ending which of course they can't but given that you know he doesn't want it spoiled you can guess it and that's going to be a problem to some......that's not getting into the casting of Hirsch either (yet). Portrait of a Lady On Fire still in the lead or am I reading too much into this

Portrait of a Lady On Fire still in the lead or am I reading too much into this Seems like a definite winner - and got picked up today for a US awards run release later in the year! Haenel at the Oscars? Makes me wonder what kinda English-language roles she's been offered or would do. I hope Blue is the Warmest Color being a recent winner doesn't influence the jury bc of course that's not the right way to go about it. Other than Portrait of a Lady....... maybe Parasite?

Portrait of a Lady On Fire still in the lead or am I reading too much into this You're reading too much into it. I wouldn't pencil him in as the winner YET, but don't think him being snippy in a Cannes press conference will hurt him. He'll surely do much better when he's talking to The Jimmy's, Colbert and that whole lot. I will say that, even if it's a safer bet, him getting a 3rd writing Oscar before a 1st one for directing sounds off to me. Surely if they like him and the movie enough for writing, they'll consider the fact he's never won for directing, and that he's undoubtedly one of the Top 3 or 4 most ICONIC directors of his generation (polarizing af, but definitely iconic), and figure with all his upcoming retirement talk this may be his last chance to get Director. That could definitely sway things his way. Plus, unlike the Oscars, the DGA has never awarded him before, so they be might be more keen to award him. After that...well, we all know the DGA/Oscar alignment history.

Mr. PacinoEyes, top 5 performances by Ms. Haenel? I haven't really seen her in much and am very interested in discovering her work! Well, it's really hard to explain but she isn't like other actresses where she has a "Persona" or "Possession" - her unusual gift is just fitting into everything......and I mean everything - period pieces, contemporary pieces, drama, as part of an ensemble or a lead - in outrageously zany comedy (she has almost a Judy Holliday type gift for them, improbably). You'll eventually find that even if she's in something that is not great, she herself always is a standout (like In the Name of My Daughter with Catherine Deneuve etc.) If you just see her biggest stuff you may think she's overrated, but the more you see the more alluring, accomplished and mysterious she becomes, it's really that she's never "off" or close to off in anything, and the material she's in and terrific in, is all over the map. Here's 5 I like and please post your thoughts too. I could recommend some others but this is a good primer I think The first 2 below were Caesar award winners for her btw: Suzanne Love at First Fight The Trouble with You (this is a comedy and she's just inspired in this) BPM The Unknown Girl Thank you very much, man! I completely understand what you mean about her perhaps not having a lot of BIG performances but just always being perfect. I've only seen BPM from the ones you mentioned and I think the description certainly applies there.

Only the QT movie seems big. The Sciamma, Almodovar, Bong, etc. seem like niche works overpraised for solidarity with less successful directors more than an authentic alternative to QT like the superb Three Colors: Red was (which was still worse than Pulp Fiction, despite also being a masterpiece).

And the new Kechiche is apparently (and predictably) a 3.5-hour collection of ass shots without any kind of story but with an explicit 15-minute cunnilingus scene, of course!
I actually like Kechiche (haven't seen "Mektoub 1" though) but I really do wonder how he got that competition slot considering his feud with Cannes and how niche this film seems to be. I'm not someone who thinks that festivals like this are for anticipated American entries only, but it just seems weird that something like "The Lighthouse" (which sounds far more interesting and peculiar) doesn't get in the main comp while this does.

Wow, there is some sort of beautiful poetry in the fact that Kechiche literally auctioned off his Palme trophy to finance this film ... lmao.

I know the Academy doesn't allow Oscar statuettes to be auctioned off like that (unless I'm mistaken). Also, given the subtitle, are we supposed to expect another installment here? Is Kechiche gonna move on to something else or is he gonna spend the next 5-6 years trying to find funding for a 4-hour Canto Due that no one's asking for?

This is undoubtedly the greatest thing to come out of the Cannes competition. Not the movie, no. Just that review.

That review is one of the funniest movie reviews I've read. I am probably one of the very few people that are looking forward to Intermezzo, since I generally like Kechiche as a director and because I found Canto Uno quite interesting, even though it was much longer than it should have been.
