not sure where they come up with this. this website gave Titane only 22-1 odds last year in the end, although its top prediction, A Hero, won Grand Prix

I thought for a moment that Jerzy Skolimowski had forgotten the name of one of his donkeys but it was just a pregnant pause. Good speech.
― Alba, Saturday, 28 May 2022 19:19 (one year ago) link
So the jury prize covers eight donkeys in total?

I missed big chunks of the competition program but I predict prizes for Close, Decision to Leave and an acting prize for Mother and Son. Probably something undeserved for the utterly dismal Broker. Wildcard prediction: Valeria Bruni Tedeschi for a direction or screenplay.— Wendy Ide (@wendyide) May 28, 2022
Song Kang-Ho is a great actor but I don't think he's all that in BROKER! Oh well!— Caspar Salmon (@CasparSalmon) May 28, 2022

So, ties in both jury and grand prix?! Dang, guess this wasn't a lean year after all.

No one wins the prestigious ILX poll.
― Alba, Saturday, 28 May 2022 19:50 (one year ago) link
I mean, a three-way and four-way tie in the ILX poll came pretty spiritually close to being correct.

I liked that in his post-Cannes press conference Lukas Dhont talked about being a mama’s boy and about wanting to make a film about mothers and sons

xp also his awards speech where he talked about how our collective prevailing images of men are all about violence, and that he wanted to make a movie about the opposite, to express that empathy, openness and fragility can also be powerful

I guess Östlund is good at coming up with memorable scenes. In The Square it was the outrageous, threatening, performance-art dinner scene (which is still imbedded in my mind)
I haven't seen this film, but from what I've read there is also a scene in this film that everyone who's seen it is talking about
― Dan S, Sunday, 29 May 2022 00:25 (one year ago) link
still it is not my kind of film

I just want to watch it to see Harris Dickinson with his shirt off

the films I'm most looking forward to from this festival are Close, Showing Up, Pacifiction, RMN, Decision To Leave, and Tori and Lokita
― Dan S, Sunday, 29 May 2022 01:30 (one year ago) link
Holy Spider also sounds interesting, and has the best title of all

listened to Nicholas Rapold's recent Cannes podcast with Manohla Dargis. She spoke about Broker, Leila's Brothers, Mother and Son, and being able to anticipate every scene in Triangle of Sadness (and hating it)

I love Nicolas Rapold, he seems sexy to me in a nerdy way
I liked the talk about how it's a tedious job acknowledging the glamour of Cannes and its nostalgia, the ridiculousness of Tom Cruise's fighter jets, Baz Luhrmann, beautiful women on the red carpet, etc, but also how Cannes needs to cultivate that stuff as part of its mystique
Rapold has spoken to multiple critics about EO, but Dargis mentioned the barbarism toward animals, and they discussed the idea that the visual craziness of the film maybe represented the donkey's perspective
In regards to EO she talked about how we are really far removed from the natural world now to our inevitable peril and doom, and how that was the reason it was the defining film of the festival for her
― Dan S, Thursday, 2 June 2022 04:53 (one year ago) link
Yeah, I really like Rapold too. His podcast (along with Film Comment's) was once again my daily companion through the festival.
