I was somewhat perturbed to see Stev Yeun, who was so great in Burning, turn up on one sketch on the gross-out sketch show, I Think You Should Leave on Netflix.

not sure about 2019. the jury selection seems more impressive than the films. agree with Eric that the iconic filmmakers who haven’t been recognized yet category is lacking this year

I don't know if I care that much about iconic directors, but I love that Hausner and Porumboiu, two of the best youngish directors, are there for the first time.

Tarantino and Kechiche added. Think the lineup is complete now. New poll?

Anyone catch The Wild Goose Lake? I quite liked Diao Yinan's previous film, Black Coal, Thin Ice ... people on here seem to be mixed on Long Day's Journey Into Night but eh, I liked An Elephant Sitting Still which wasn't too popular here either.

Is this the only place to talk about Portrait de la Jeune Fille en Feu? It devastated me. Utterly exquisite. A definite 10/10, for me. Some of the things Sciamma does would seem ridiculous if you read about it (the heart going on fire in the previous attempt at a portrait) but she does it with such style and feeling. The last shot broke me.

there is an "arthouse" thread
I was not blown away by it, but Adele Haenel and the cinematography make it

Also, this was in the 2019 Cannes thread, not the 2018 one.

Yup. This is where we'll talk about, like, Girls of the Sun, when all of a sudden that gets a release.

This was a really good slate, in retrospect.

I can't stop thinking about this film. It's perfect, imo.

the writing is amazing as well.

one of the most amazing details is the saliva streams during the kisses.

It's just such an accomplished film from start to finish.

excellent movie but it did make me lol that they're on a remote island in the 18th century and still everyone, including the maid, is immaculately clean and groomed in every single scene
