Some runtimes.... Dragged Across Concrete 159m Yikes, I actually really liked Brawl in Cell Block 99, but you could have easily cut 20 minutes out of that movie.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all about seeing as much Mad Mel as I can in a movie like this, but Zahler definitely needs an editor who can help kill his darlings. Brawl in particular is baggy as hell; you could've made the same movie at damn near half the length and lost none of its potency.

Tree of Life (Extended) 189m In a World where Johnny Hellzapoppin has been kidnapped by deranged Terrence Malick fans, this is what they use to torture him.

My absolutely random predix:
Golden Lion: Close Enemies Silver Bear for Best Director: Olivier Assayas, Non-Fiction Special Jury Prize: The Ballad of Buster Scruggs Volpi Cup for Best Actor: Tim Blake Nelson, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs Volpi Cup for Best Actress: Marianna Fantana, Capri-Revolution Best Screenplay Award: TIE - Killing & Sunset
Edit: Changing my best actor nod to Nelson.
Edit 2: Adding another screenplay winner for Killing, because I've never done a tie before and I'm kinda thinking that Killing scores something.

Martin Stett head of the jury is horror-geek, Call Me By Your Name fan Guillermo del Toro, so I'd expect a little love for Suspiria as well.

Suspiria is 152 minutes? Jesus Christ is that a lot longer than I was expecting.

Dragged Across Conrete sounds horrific, considering everyone involved.

Everyone always says that the jury head will have this big influence on what scores big, but that rarely seems to be the case, near as I can tell. It generally depends on how outspoken the jurors are. Francis Ford Coppola was really prickly about Cronenberg's Crash being a potential Palme winner and lobbied really hard against it. Isabelle Huppert famously hated Inglourious Basterds and really went to bat for Crash. And Xavier Dolan was by all accounts a whiny prima donna who all but bullied the rest of the jury into recognizing his friend, Emmanuelle Bercot, in Best Actress.

Some runtimes.... Peterloo 154m Suspiria 152m Dragged Across Concrete 159m Tree of Life (Extended) 189m I would not have expected that long a runtime for Dragged Across Concrete because the premise initially seems pretty slight. Zahler ain't messing around.

If Guillermo del Toro directed a movie with Taika Waititi, Christoph Waltz and Naomi Watts, I'd be there in a heartbeat.

“First Man” bears the same relation to the space dramas that have come before it that “Saving Private Ryan” did to previous war films.I am quite excited to see it but fnck SPR and Owen Gleibermnan's endless support of that (still overrated) film. He used to be a great critic but he weirdly name drops that film constantly (which he really, really liked 20 years ago dontchaknow) even when it doesn't fit. Are you going to argue that space travel films have the breadth and depth and actual relation to human experience that war films do? Nah that's absurd - although not as absurd as "our imagination", that is blatant writing for the newspaper ad

81 on Metacritic, 10 reviews in. Don't see it winning BP, but it could pick up a few techs like VFX, Editing and Sound.

Nah that's absurd - although not as absurd as "our imagination", that is blatant writing for the newspaper ad I mean, regardless of how you feel about Saving Private Ryan and Gleiberman's feelings on it, you can't deny that for war movies, it was a game-changer. Most war films after it came out have tried to emulate it in some way. It introduced shaky-cam, desaturation, realistic gore and violence, and so many other trappings into mainstream war cinema, and even though it's a flawed film its influence cannot be denied. For Gleiberman to say that First Man is a game-changer for space dramas in the way Ryan was for war films feels like hyperbole, sure, but I think he means it more from a technical standpoint than the relation to the human experience.

Yeah that's how I read it. Perhaps Gleiberman's reference to SPR seems weirdly positioned because it comes immediately after he alludes to the astronauts and pilots who have died. I guess the comparison could have been clearer if he had made it in the paragraph before where he's discussing the filmmaking itself.
