Jack Morales
The critics really enjoyed Sieranevada. Romanian New Wave is still alive.
Gabriel Nguyen
I don't recognize any superhero name in here.
Matthew Reyes
>3 hours romanian family drama
no thank you
Anthony Clark
Last year's live stream thread for the actual awards presentation was comfy af. Lots of movies I'm looking forward to this year.
What have you seen from last year's festival? What was the best?
Parker Ortiz
Yeah, fuck this pretentious shit. Captain America and Batman are so much better!
Carter Wood
No I mean I'm more interested in other movies in the selection. Like Aquarius, Loving or Paterson
Samuel Williams
Two Jarmusch films playing this year? Nice.
Kayden Davis
Slightly unrelated but is there any place to acquire foreign films shown in cannes in the previous years with subtitles?
They aren't exactly hard to find. I bet even TPB has many of them.
Oliver Perez
Prediction time: Do critics slam it or give it a warm reception?
James Myers
90% on RT
Dominic Edwards
If it's a big enough movie after the fact, it would probably be easy to find. Otherwise I don't know. It took well over a year to get Clouds of Sils Maria.
Josiah Jenkins
I still haven't found a release of Dheepan with english subtitles.
Joshua Reed
How do you realistically get tickets for a screening at Cannes? (or any other prestigious Film Festival like Venice, Berlinale, Sundance, etc.)
Jeremiah Turner
This and Force Majeure are what I was looking for
Wyatt Nelson
Sundance is designed so that anybody can get tickets. If you're in either park city or salt lake you can buy individual tickets for around $20 without needing credentials or passes or anything. It's pretty sweet
Tyler Rodriguez
Yeah that sounds fucking awful.
Ian Campbell
If there is a ton of sex in it Cannes will love it. The French love sex and hate violence
Nicholas Price
Dheepan just came out in theatres in the US, and to my knowledge hasn't hit DVD in Europe. You probably won't see it anywhere online for a few months at least, especially if France tries to submit it as their Oscar nom this year.
I saw Force Majuere online back in 2014, so if you can't find it either it was taken down or you should keep looking.
Elijah Baker
depends of the selection and the hour of the screening. You can beg for tickets in the street of Cannes, it works well because a lot of people have extra tickets. It's easier to get ticket for a movie in the film market because half of the time it's almost empty. If I remember correctly there are screening open to the public for the Quinzaine selection, you must pay though. A lot of people without any press pass go to Cannes every year and see a lot of movies. Morning screenings are the way to go, less people, more chance to get in. Patience and luck are the keys.
Gavin Perry
>Romanian New Wave is still alive You mean all 3 guys?
Luis Martin
Dheepan is out in France on dvd already, and on the internet for months. Weakest palme d'or in a long time
Christopher Price
Why aren't they asking Woody cunny questions?
Liam Green
Sounds like my kind of degenerates.
Kayden Barnes
Thanks for clearing that up. I've also heard it was weak. Should've given it to Saul.
Andrew Campbell
STAYING VERTICAL is a gorgeous enigma about fear of wolves & getting fucked to death. What a way to start the day! #Cannes2016
Richard Lawson @rilaws It really isn't Cannes unless you see a movie about an old man getting fucked to death. Thanks, STAYING VERTICAL!
Robbie Collin @robbiereviews Staying Vertical (Guiraudie): anal sex, cunnilingus, genital close-ups and unsimulated childbirth, all before 10am! Also wolves #Cannes2016
Matt Hoffman @HoffmanOnFilm RESTER VERTICAL: Do you like full frontal nudity and an uninterrupted close-up of a live birth? Oui oui! Excéllent! #Cannes2016
Daniel Fisher
Dheepan Blu Ray has been online for months
Connor Myers
Sounds dumb.
Leo Nelson
At one graphic point, a baby emerges from a woman's vagina in a queasy torrent of bilious goo; in glaring, dehumanising light, Guiraudie's camera captures this wholly natural event as if it were the most alien thing in the world. In any state of consciousness, vertical or horizontal, this frostily fascinating film shows life to be a pretty surreal event.
OSCAR WHEN?
Kayden Scott
>Opening Film: >Café Society (Woody Allen, US) I'm so sorry Cannes, this is going to be a really bad year for you guys.
Josiah Long
Opening films are almost always bad. Apparently Cafe Society isn't that terrible, just mediocre.
Luke King
this is the most overrated guy in the competition.
is there a good news site that follows the cannes festival closely?
Benjamin Bennett
The Guardian
Ayden Perez
>Paterson (Jim Jarmusch, US) Any word on the street about it yet?
Based Adam Driver is in it.
Shame Scorsese had to miss Cannes with ''Silence''.
Asghar Fahradi movie is out of competition? I think him and Almodóvar were the favorites for the Palm D'Or
Ryan Jackson
What's the deal with the midnight screenings? I know they're not actually in the competition - do people just pay to be able to say their film screened at Cannes?
The Criterion Forums has a Cannes thread that usually put up instant reaction from critics, articles, tweets (if you don't want to look from website to website)
Grayson Barnes
Cannes is pretty much the biggest film festival of the year. Every news site follows it.
Nicholas Barnes
George Miller is the president of the jury. Hopefully something better than Dheepan wins this year.
Easton Wood
You have to sift through so much "fashion" bullshit when searching through the cannes hashtag on twitter. Save that bs for the oscars or something.
Angel Russell
will be updating as the festival progresses -- already has some reviews up
From best to worst: Lobster Sicario Louder Youth Carol Dheepan ..will watch Son Of Saul in a few weeks. Will watch Sea of Trees whenever it comes out as well. What am I missing?
Anthony Russell
Macbeth was pretty good. Son of Saul was great. The Assassin was misleading, considering all I had heard.
Still need to see My Little Sister and Tale of Tales.
John Gray
>people still give Cannes attention >completely ignore Berlinale Cannes is the BvS of film festivals
Kevin Baker
Cannes has the biggest names.
Mason Robinson
>US
Jayden Sullivan
This year, Berlinale was okayish. Cannes looks the same. Another forgettable year I guess.
Logan Bailey
Farhadi has a new film?
Brody Bailey
Cannes is loaded with big names, I'm not sure how you can call it forgettable based on nothing but that
Sure, but based on names and names alone it's in no way a disappointing year. I fully expect most of these films to be mediocre like every year but you can't write off the festival when its barely begun
Jose Watson
Not exclusive
Brandon Cooper
After one review.
Christopher Walker
Force Majeure is on fucking netflix
Christopher Cooper
Lobster was some really shallow gimmicky stuff man. I can't believe you put it above Sicario, let alone that far above Carol which is genuinely amazing.
Anthony Edwards
Kléber Mendonça Filho is a good director, his previous movie (Neighboring Sounds) is a good flick.
