Emilia Perez (Audiard)
Anora (Baker)
Megalopolis (Coppola)
The Substance (Fargeat)
Grand Tour (Gomes)
All We Imagine As Light (Kapadia)
The Seed of the Sacred Fig (Rasoulof)
Jia Zhangke posted (briefly; subsequently deleted) that CAUGHT BY THE TIDES won’t win any award.

Re: Cannes 2024
And now The Seed of the Sacred Fig sounds like a Palme winner.
This fest really turned itself around.
(NOTE: but it sounds like the magical realism of As We Imagine Light would also be very much up Gerwig’s alley)

Re: Cannes 2024
Good predictions although I think Grand Tour and Caught by the Tides will get something.
I’m half wondering if they create a special prize for Megalopolis.

Re: Cannes 2024
I think Toni Erdmann had the highest rating in a decade and it won nothing.

Although, last year Fallen Leaves had the highest jury grid rating; and, Anatomy Of A Fall won the Palme d'Or.Big Magilla wrote: ↑Thu May 23, 2024 6:21 pm Anora has six **** juror ratings which suggests that it is in fact the one to beat thus far.

Re: Cannes 2024
Anora has six **** juror ratings which suggests that it is in fact the one to beat thus far.
That said, what are these X ratings mean supposed to mean? I took them to mean that the jury member didn't see the film, but whoever applied the percentages counted them as a "no star" or "zero" rating. It seems to me that the totals for those films with X's should have been divided by the number of films seen by the ten or eleven of jurors who saw them, not the full complement of twelve.

It's the kind of Cannes it is: nothing storming to the front, so anything that gets excited reaction from anyone could be The One.

Re: Cannes 2024
And now, the new Paolo Sorrentino film, getting at least some very good reviews:

Re: Cannes 2024
Kubrick improved upon the source material and even King has finally come around to admitting that the film adaptation is great after lambasting it for decades and saying he had to turn it off when it appeared on his hotel television once. I re-read it a couple of years ago before I read Doctor Sleep (which is much scarier in some ways) and there are several elements that would simply not have worked in a 1980 adaptation such as the roaming topiary animals which Kubrick smartly turned into the infamous maze.The Shining should have been ignored, what Kubrick did to Stephen King's novel was a travesty.

Re: Cannes 2024
Going off of first reviews but I could definitely see the Gerwig jury going for Anora.
