The Festival Line Up Announcements just keep coming, and we wouldn't have it any other way. This week, we touch on some early NYFF news before digging deep into the first big announcement from TIFF: Galas and Special Presentations. After clearing out some of the obvious picks, what deeper cuts are worth getting excited about? We endeavor to decide! We then look at a few more NYFF announcements, some San Sebastian News, and the TIFF lineups for 5 more sections, before taking a look at Sarah Polley's fascinating sophomore feature TAKE THIS WALTZ, starring Michelle Williams, Seth Rogen, Luke Kirby, and Sarah Silverman, in anticipation of TIFF Title WOMEN TALKING!

Thank you... thankyouverymuch... that's right it's time to discuss two new releases that are fresh off some festival showings, Peter Strickland's latest FLUX GOURMET from Berlin's Encounters section and Baz Luhrmann's glitzy take on ELVIS that was out of competition at Cannes. After Activating Andy and covering the latest news including the Locarno Lineup, we dig into topics such as performance art on film, great leading performances, and how cartoonishly evil Tom Hanks can be.

IRMA VEP... it's an anagram for Vampire, but what else is there to discover about Olivier Assayas's 1996 film and his recent Cannes approved effort that's currently airing on HBO? We get into the tone, the actors, the satire, and the weird relationship between past and present. All that plus various news items related to MUBI, Sean Durkin, and Telluride!

In the 2010's George Miller's MAD MAX FURY ROAD reigned supreme. In the 2000's it was Sam Raimi's DRAG ME TO HELL. And the 90s, it was none other than Alex Proyas's DARK CITY. So we come, at last, to the 80s with the earliest possible slate of Blockbusters. What film will take home the Palme? It's time for 80s CANNES BLOCKBUSTERS, and we bring back DAVID SIMS to lead our Jury.
The list of eligible films

The glitz and glamor of Cannes 2022 has ended, and a new set of prize winners have been announced. And, most importantly of all, Emilio is BACK from CANNES! We go over the back half of the festival, all the highs and lows of the awards ceremony, and get first hand reports and reactions as we put the 75th edition of the festival in the rearview.
