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

And then RO immediately afterward cajoled the crowd into another primal scream.

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

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

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

Yeah, I really like Rapold too. His podcast (along with Film Comment's) was once again my daily companion through the festival.
