Re: 2023 Cannes Line-up
OK. That rule went into effect in 2006. Last year Denmark submitted Holy Spider which was filmed in Jordan in Persian.
The big change this year is that submission committees must be made up of at least 50% talent in response to the Indian politicians ignoring RRR last year.
Not sure if there is any language rule anymore, so I suppose Poland could submit Anatomy of a Fall, a title that seems awfully clinical. When I first heard it, I thought it referred to a fall from grace, but it seems that it is actually about the fall that killed the guy. Intriguing.
Here's an article from IndieWire that explains the current situation regarding foreign film submissions:

This is correct. That rule has been gone at least since the Canadian submission Water (in Hindi) got nominated.anonymous1980 wrote: ↑Sun May 28, 2023 9:28 pmI think the rule of "it HAS to be in the language of the country" has been done away already. It just needs to be not in the English language to qualify. I think the way they determine which country gets to submit the film is in the nationality and/or citizenship of the creative team and the production behind it. I'm not entirely sure if there's a fixed percentage or if they strictly enforce it. One example is Amour which is in French and stars French people but the director is Austrian and it's an Austrian co-production with France and Germany but Austria is the country that ended up submitting it.Big Magilla wrote: ↑Sun May 28, 2023 2:27 pm This is probably not going to be an International Feature contender at the Oscars.

Under today's rules, I believe that The Scent of Green Papaya, a French-Vietnamese coproduction, directed by a Vietnamese-French dual citizen, and filmed entirely in studios in France, could be submitted by France.

FYI: Apparently, a significant percentage of Anatomy of a Fall is in English so it may not qualify for International Feature. But I think Neon will definitely push Sandra Huller for Actress regardless.

Re: 2023 Cannes Line-up
The Zone of Interest is a U.S.-U.K.-Poland co-production according to both IMDb. and Wikipedia.
This is probably not going to be an International Feature contender at the Oscars. A certain percentage of dialogue would have to be in the language of the country presenting it. It's in English, German and Polish. The U.S. and U.K. are ineligible. Germany has no claim to it. Poland may have a claim based on the percentage of dialogue in Polish but Poland has other options for its submission.

Re: 2023 Cannes Line-up
I wonder if A24's involvement will keep The Zone of Interest from eligible at all? Last year they picked up Close for distribution, but from what I gather, they have been involved with this from the very beginning. I wouldn't even be able to guess what country might submit it if it is eligible, though.

Re: 2023 Cannes Line-up
Speaking of dilemmas, which country will submit The Zone of Interest? Will it be the UK because it has an English director and writer and is co-produced by England? Is it Germany because it's about Germany and has a German cast? Will it be Poland because it was shot in Poland, it's a Polish co-production with a lot of behind-the-scenes people being Polish? Anyone know the rules about this?
Re: 2023 Cannes Line-up
This of course puts France right in an International Feature dilemma: Do they submit the widely-acclaimed Palme d'Or winner or the Directing winner? Anatomy is, of course, widely acclaimed, with the possible Best Actress contender. The Pot-au-Feu is maybe a bit less acclaimed, but (and we'll know in a few months if this is the case) reviews suggested it has the potential be a a real crowdpleaser and maybe even a breakthrough hit. It doesn't have US distribution yet, but I can't imagine it will have any difficulty acquiring it. I wonder if being burned by their last Palme winner might play into their decision making here, but Anatomy seems much more mainstream than Titane was.

Re: 2023 Cannes Line-up
This seems the spot for a list of winners.
Palme d'Or: Anatomy of a Fall, Justine Triet
Grand Prix: The Zone of Interest, Jonathan Glazer
Jury Prize: Fallen Leaves, Aki Kaurismäki
Best Director: Tran Anh Hung, The Pot-au-Feu
Best Actress: Merve Dizdar, About Dry Grasses
Best Actor: Kōji Yakusho, Perfect Days
Best Screenplay: Yuji Sakamoto, Monster
Of course, this is all sight-unseen by most of us, but it certainly dovetails with critical response, which isn't always the case.

Re: 2023 Cannes Line-up
Thierry Fremaux has said that Scorsese has been invited to join the competition. Not sure if Apple or Scorsese is reluctant to go in competition. Scorsese hasn't done festival competitions in quite awhile. I suspect it's a lot easier to just show up for a big premiere and that being in competition is more involved.
Fremaux also said that he wanted Barbie and Oppenheimer to play (I'm guessing they would've been out of competition) but that they weren't finished yet, and he hinted that Oppenheimer would probably be delayed until the end of the year.

Re: 2023 Cannes Line-up
FUN FACT: Since 2006, at least one film in the In Competition lineup at Cannes has gotten either an International Feature nomination or a Best Picture nomination or both. I looked it up and this is currently the longest streak it has at producing a nominee in at least one of these categories.
