Film critic @becroll tells us why "Mickey 17"'s Robert Pattinson is very good at acting alongside multiple selves, and how the movie’s overblown atmosphere sits within Bong Joon-ho’s body of work.

Not really a hot take or anything but kind of interesting that today, an L.A. Confidential would be (far) more likely for the Palme than that year’s winners The Eel and Taste of Cherry.

Another great detail about this movie — they got Dick Powell’s son to cameo as his dad and my god he was a carbon copy.

Gerwig on giving ANORA the Palme: "It felt both new and in conversation with older forms of cinema. There was something about it that reminds us of the classic structures of Lubitsch or Howard Hawks." Choosing it was "really heart-forward," she says.

Do they even bother filling out the other spots on the jury? What would be the point?

#BiennaleCinema2024 #IsabelleHuppert will be the President of the International Jury that will accompany us on the adventure of #Venezia81 #Competition!
“There is a long and beautiful history between the #BiennaleCinema and I. Becoming a privileged spectator is an honor. More than ever, cinema is a promise. The promise to escape, to disrupt, to surprise, to take a good look at the world, united in the differences of our tastes and ideas” → bit.ly/IsabelleHuppert_Venez…

Une toile délirante de Takeshi Kitano pour l'affiche 2024 ! Une peinture décalée qui salue la poésie, l'humour et le burlesque du cinéaste japonais passé par la Quinzaine en 1996.

Aged up reboot of that (forgotten?) Reitman classic: GRANDFATHER’S DAY.

Feel like they missed out on Schwarzenegger and DeVito doing a buddy cop movie together in the 90s but it can still happen now, probably even better now

To say "May his memory be a blessing" would be an understatement. His work continues to bless (and help) us all. A towering person, talent and mind.
