He has a formal command on which he can rely whereas, say, Paul Schrader, whose most recent film I like a lot, can obviously make garbage when his ear for dialogue and his wham-bam visual sense fail him.

The panel on the the Film Comment podcast loved Joanna Arnow's The Feeling That the Time for Doing Something Has Passed (playing in Directors' Fortnight). I realise I'm not the target demographic but I've rarely been so sure that I don't want to follow a recommendation. Enjoying following along vicariously via daily podcasts and tweets, as usual. Though the podcasts are down to Film Comment and (my favourite) The Last Thing I Saw as Little White Lies doesn't seem to really be doing it this year.

film critic Donald Clarke asked him why he still had Club Zero on his list given the negative reviews and he said it was because of some inside information, that “rumours started running rife in Vienna film-circles as soon as it was announced in comp”. I'm very skeptical that that could affect the jury

Solid reception on the Rohrwacher, too:
The best film at Cannes 2023, Alice Rohrwacher’s tomb-raider drama LA CHIMERA is an earthy, dreamy fable about the gravesites we all walk over every day. It doesn’t belong in a museum, it’s a living one. Review for @LWLies:https://t.co/IX5WnjX8je— Mark Asch (@MarkAschParody) May 26, 2023

in these sidebars, the film that sounds most impressive to me is Inside the Yellow Cocoon Shell by Pham Thien An in Direcors’ Fortnight, which is eligible for the Camera d’Or

From another board… Even though it got largely negative reviews, Club Zero is produced by Philippe Bober, who has produced Ostlund's films for the past decade, so I would expect an award for it. Also Jessica Hausner is reportedly still in town.

Curious about Pot-au-Feu only because I loved Tran Anh Hung's first 3 films but haven't seen any since. He shoots food very well, so I'm open to it despite its NPR-core summary.

Sandra Hüller said about Glazer and Triet:
“Both are so focused on what they do. Some directors are a bit manipulative and don't give you all the information you need for a character, but with these two everything was on the table - what they wanted to achieve, what they wanted to tell."

there doesn’t seem to be a triet thread, but I saw ANATOMY OF A FALL yesterday and thought the majority of it was very good in its exploration of marriage and relationship, the nature and limits of compromise, “gender roles” etc — the last third is a bit of a letdown I thought, it seemed like triet couldn’t quite figure out how to resolve it

My wife thought it was pretty obvious that Daniel was lying about the conversation he claims to have had with his dad, which I thought was a really convincing reading I didn’t consider in the moment, wondering what you thought
― Evans on Hammond (evol j), Sunday, 29 October 2023 03:02 (five months ago) link
That occurred to me, too, and I think it's a persuasive interpretation. The key scene is when Marge tells him he needs to "decide," which she says is different from making up a belief, but still suggests that he has some agency in guiding things. Maybe the conversation with his dad did happen in some form, but he decides to frame it to the court as a sign that his dad was suicidal.
