Tomorrow, the Telluride Film Festival will announce its lineup. As per the usual, Michael Patterson has written his final predictions. We’ll see how right on he is.
Scott Kernen will attend the fest and report back on the activities, screenings, Oscar best bets, etc. If this is it, it looks like a pretty good lineup, with strong contenders for acting categories, like Elsinore, Bucking Fastard, The Debut, etc.
The standout for me is Fjord, which already won the Palme d’Or at Cannes and is among the few films ever made — literally ever — that attempt to scratch beneath the surface of what is really happening right now.
Here is Michael’s list.
