As the Summer movie season transitions to Fall, all eyes are on one movie in particular: Sean Baker‘s “Anora.” And for good reason: Baker’s latest won the coveted Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival in May, with many critics heralding the film as a long-deserved breakout for the director.

‘Megalopolis’: Francis Ford Coppola Will Pay Up To $20 Million In Marketing For Lionsgate’s Theatrical Release Of His Magnum Opus

Good news for Francis Ford Coppola earlier this week, as Lionsgate stepped up to snag distribution rights for his self-financed “Megalopolis.” But THR reports there’s a catch to the Lionsgate deal for FFC: the 85-year-old will need to spend up to $20 million in marketing for the film’s theatrical release. That’s on top of the $120 million Coppola already spent to finance his passion project in the first place.

‘The Kingdom’ Fuses Coming-Of-Age & Gangster Tropes into An Exciting Debut [Cannes Review]

An incisive look into the mafia’s presence in Corsica, Julien Colonna’s “The Kingdom” is an even-handed debut, filtering a war between rival gangs through the prism of a coming-of-age narrative. While well aware of the tropes associated with mafia films, Colonna’s decision to place his point of view alongside Lesia (Ghjuvanna Benedetti in her first role) creates a fascinating window into connections between real and created families.

Did Another Best Picture Nominee Debut At Cannes?

CANNES – If you were to have asked us just 48 hours ago whether we believed Cannes would be sending another Best Picture nominee to the Academy Awards we would have been hesitant to answer yes. Now, following Sean Baker’s “Anorma” winning the Palme d’Or, it looks like Cannes’ Oscar streak will continue.

‘The Seed Of The Sacred Fig’ Review: Mohammad Rasoulof’s Searing Indictment Of Modern Iran [Cannes]

CANNES – After screening “The Seed of the Sacred Fig,” a world premiere at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, one has to breathe a sigh of relief that director and screenwriter Mohammad Rasoulof is safely out of Iran. A victim of a politically motivated jail sentence for supporting the 2022 Masha Amini hijab protests, Rasoulof‘s latest feature will likely anger the Iranian government even more.

‘All We Imagine As Light’ Review: First Indian Competition Entry In 30 Years Earns Its Accolades [Cannes]

“All We Imagine As Light” opens as only a film set in Mumbai can— with the gradual unfurling of this massive metropolis at dawn.

George Lucas Says His ‘Star Wars’ Ideas Were “Lost” Once Disney Took Over

George Lucas returned to the Cannes Croisette for the first time since 1971 this week to receive an honorary Palme d’Or. So what did the 80-year-old director say about his career as he talked to a packed audience at the Debussy Theater after accepting the prize? Well, to the surprise of no one, THR reports that he mainly talked about “Star Wars.” Along the way, Lucas defended the prequel trilogy, his continual updates to the original trilogy, and lamented how Disney misused his ideas after he sold Lucasfilm to the company in 2012 for $4.05 billion.

‘Beating Hearts’ Review: Gilles Lellouche’s Stylish Thriller Descends Into Clichés [Cannes]

CANNES – A very popular actor in his native France, Gilles Lellouche has dipped his toe into filmmaking co-directing one movie and helming another over the past 20 years. Nothing he’s directed previously would prepare anyone for the impressive visual authority he welds over the camera in “Beating Hearts,” which debuted at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.

‘Filmlovers!’ Review: Arnaud Desplechin Pays Tribute To The Miracle Of Cinema On Enchantingly Personal Docufiction [Cannes]

Trite as it certainly sounds, the saccharine label of a “lover letter to cinema” applies all too precisely to French director Arnaud Desplechin’s enchanting docufiction effort “Filmlovers!” (“Spectateurs!”). But even with that obnoxiously overused denomination hanging over it, this multifaceted personal essay succeeds at rekindling or reaffirming one’s own relationship with the miracle of this young art form that we so often take for granted.

‘Marcello Mio’ Review: Chiara Mastroianni Stars In A Meta Love Letter To Her Father [Cannes]

CANNES – The term “Nepo baby” gets thrown around a lot these days for reasons both justifiably good and bad. It’s one thing to be the daughter of a successful Hollywood actress and a popular comedy film director.

‘Parthenope’ Review: Paolo Sorrentino’s Portrait Of An Italian Diva Coming Of Age [Cannes]

CANNES – If we know anything about Paolo Sorrentino it’s that he adores his hometown of Naples, Italy. His last directorial effort, “The Hand of God” was a love letter to the port city and, in something of a surprise, he taps that well once again for “Parthelone,” a title in competition at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.

‘Anora’ Review: Sean Baker’s New York Cinderella Story Arrives With A Russian Twist [Cannes]

CANNES – The “Anora” in Sean Baker’s latest creation is actually the birth name of Ani (Mikey Madison), a private dancer who works in a pretty nice strip club in New York City. Sure, the hours ain’t ideal, and there’s that long subway ride back to the rundown duplex she shares with her sister in Brighton Beach, but she’s not complaining.

‘The Apprentice’ Review: Sebastian Stan as Donald Trump? It Works! [Cannes]

Five years ago, Iranian-Danish filmmaker Ali Abbasi broke out internationally with the Oscar-nominated “Border,” a thorny little beast of a fable about love, complicity, and guilt. His latest prods at some of the same themes, although the thorny little beast at the center of “The Apprentice” is far from a fictional creature of fables.
