Re: Season 4? Or is it over after this? Wisteria/Unrecorded Night? Something else? (Speculation thread.)

The lack of Q&A jumped out at me, because I've seen Fremaux respond to questions about rumoured titles that didn't materialize before, so I was keen to hear what he'd say about Lynch.
It is very possible he was preempting that and chose to skip it to avoid being put on the spot and forced to lie.

I wouldn't count on any late addition. Cannes prints really beautiful glossy catalogues and brochures that have to go to printing presses, people start trying to get tickets. Feature films aren't cheap. Even Inland Empire had backers. That whole machine want hype and publicity and some sort of retu...

If it was Lynch he'd almost certainly be the opening film for the festival's anniversary though, right?
Not necessarily. It theoretically could turn up mid festival as the centerpiece.

No opening film named. Guessing they'll reveal it next week.

Edit: Whoops, it's Z, by Michel Hazanavicius. It's a remake of the Japanese movie One Cut of the Dead, which is great fun and I recommend it.

They are doing Un Certain Regard now, then Official Competition comes next and last.

I'm choosing not to expect Lynch next week. If it comes, it comes, but I won't anticipate it.

Lynch aside, this is quite an exciting line up so far.

Here’s the link to the official Youtube account for the announcement. https://youtu.be/ZaSsK8UbnYU It’ll no doubt be the kind of announcement that makes me wish I spoke a little French. Well played. Here's the English language link: https://youtu.be/ejSKpiu6FOc Be warned that the live translation c...

I encourage everyone to set their expectations to nothing. Get over the heartbreak now.

I also think there's a decent chance Fremaux will address the rumours even if there's no film. He sometimes mentions films that have been reported on but not ultimately part of the selection (e.g. 'we spoke to Malick but he's not ready to present his film').

A 25th anniversary premiere of the new Lost Highway 4K remaster showing up in Cannes Classics I think is a pretty safe bet.

Re: Season 4? Or is it over after this? Wisteria/Unrecorded Night? Something else? (Speculation thread.)

I personally believe Lynch is sincere in his denial. The only thing of merit I can really add to this thread is to the poster that asked about rules and customs for films premiering at Cannes, is that as a general rule the directors and producers that have films in competition also don’t know if th...
