Who will win the Palme at Cannes? [2019 edition]

Or maybe it's just the UK bias of my Twitter list and podcast listening.

Great...

I think the Palme dog race is over. #cannes2019

the word seems to be very good for bong's parasite

that image has got to be one of the best movie stills in recent memory

was disappointed by Snowpiercer (and didn't see Okja) but Parasite sounds like something I will like

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Parasite now leads them all. I still voted for Portrait of a Lady on Fire though.

lol Dolan

:( Sachs

Lol, Ekko. I'm blocked from their twitter and facebook :)

Oh, Frederickpaws.

All signs point to everyone predicting Portrait of a Lady on Fire, wanting it to go to Parasite, thinking it's actually Pedro Almodovar's time, and Inarritu and company awarding Tarantino.

Sorry, Frederikpaws. xp

I really want to see the new Herzog now

https://mubi.com/notebook/posts/cannes-correspondences-7-the-wonder-of-werner-herzog-and-terrence-malick

I'm fully expecting Inarritu to go for the Kechiche

I mean. That sounds like the perfect worst-case scenario that doesn’t involve a threepeat for Loach, but a four hour sequel on the last day of the festival sounds like a real uphill battle

poll of polls, of films in and out of competition (rating/#voters/std dev):

http://cannes-ratings.herokuapp.com/2019

I foolishly threw my early vote to Diop but now I'm thinking it'll be Sciamma.

xp Rocketman in the top 10?!

My 2006 self would be shocked that I'd ever in my life say this, but I'm bummed the Dardennes appear to be in a real slump.

That Rocketman placement surprises me! It isn't surprising that of the competition films that have been reviewed so far Malick and Dolan are the most divisive (highest std deviation)

Fun to click back on previous years to see how critical consensus shook out differently vs. the initial rush of the competition. For example:

1.	"Le Havre" (Aki Kaurismaki) FIPRESCI Price	[7.95/33 1.3]
2.	"Le gamin au vélo" (Jean-Pierre & Luc Dardenne) Grand prix	[7.61/52 0.9]
3.	"The Tree of Life" (Terrence Malick)s Palm d'Or	[7.14/52 1.8]

5.	"The Artist" (Michel Hazanavicius)	[6.56/42 1.8]
6.	"La Piel Que Habito (The Skin I Live In)" (Pedro Almodóvar)	[6.39/44 1.8]
7.	"Drive" (Nicolas Winding Refn) Best Director	[6.25/34 2.1]
8.	"Habemus Papam" (Nanni Moretti)	[6.18/51 1.7]
9.	"Melancholia" (Lars von Trier)	[6.15/49 2.1]
10.	"We Need to Talk About Kevin" (Lynne Ramsay)	[6.13/50 1.9]

apparently I Lost My Body Jérémy Clapin is the first animated film to win the Critics' Week grand prize

Pretty shocked to see Marguerite & Julien so low. The Cannes critics needs to make way for a younger generation.

Jarmusch I bet

the reactions to Mektoub My Love: Intermezzo are...interesting

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

The Variety review is hilarious. I feel for everyone who sat through that.

None of these in the running?

I kinda feel like the chance of Inarritu awarding anything to a woman is nil. But hey, Bong would be the first Korean winner. So, progress...

Powerful man is aggressive when challenged; woman has to defuse the simmering rage of powerful man; other men stand silently by https://t.co/kliq7IBTuF

Hope they Lars Avon Trier him

A’von

other men stand silently by

The question wasn't directed to them, it was to QT and Margot.

it's a pretty innocuous response

and it's not like Tarantino has shied away from giving women substantial roles, so the lack of dialogue is obviously a deliberate choice

The thread was deleted (apparently a lot of dudes were piling on) but iirc it was an aggressive, short, putdown. Just weird.

If he expanded a bit, talked about the aesthetic choices etc. that thread would not have been written.

Variety, on Intermezzo:

Up onto the central platform we go, where rotating permutations of the female friend group get in booty-shaking formation for Marco Graziaplena and Jérémie Attar’s closely appreciative camera; down we swing into the tipsy, sticky-floored melee, where the others idly gossip and passive-aggressively flirt; back up to the platform for a new round of vigorous group pole-dancing, and so on and so forth, ad nauseum. It’s a blaring endurance test, and designed as such: Eventually, the taunting irony sets in of Kechiche starting this ordeal with the tetchy disco swirl of Donna Summer and Barbra Streisand’s “Enough is Enough.”
