But other years, the jury\u2019s taste doesn\u2019t align with the Academy\u2019s in any way. This year\u2019s winner \u2014<strong>Justine Trier<\/strong>\u2019s courtroom drama\u00a0<em>Anatomy of a Fall<\/em> \u2014 was the talk of the festival after its premiere and was swiftly acquired by Neon for release in the U.S. It\u2019s likely Neon will give it an awards season run, and it could most likely play in the international feature category (while the film is in French, there are also scenes in English, so it would only qualify if at least 51% of the dialogue is in a foreign language). With critical acclaim and a Palme,\u00a0<em>Anatomy of a Fall<\/em>\u00a0will be one to keep an eye on later this year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">But what of the rest of the films that premiered during the fest? With the awards now given out and the Palais\u2019 glamorous red carpet wrapped up for another year,\u00a0<strong>Rebecca Ford<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Richard Lawson<\/strong>\u00a0reveal six of the films they enjoyed the most \u2014 and weigh in on their chances for Oscar season.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\"><em><strong>The Zone of Interest<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\"><strong>Jonathan Glazer<\/strong>\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/hollywood\/2023\/05\/the-zone-of-interest-film-review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mesmerizingly grim<\/a> film was one of the best reviewed, most buzzed about competition entries at the festival. (Many were surprised when it did not win the Palme, instead garnering the Grand Prix, or second place prize.)\u00a0<em>Zone of Interest<\/em> will no doubt land on many top ten lists at the end of the year, and will almost certainly be well honored by various critics groups. The Oscars could be a different matter, though. While\u00a0<strong>Ben Kingsley<\/strong> was nominated in supporting actor for\u00a0<em>Sexy Beast<\/em>, Glazer\u2019s debut feature, his more than deserving followup films,\u00a0<em>Birth<\/em> and\u00a0<em>Under the Skin<\/em>, didn\u2019t get any kind of Academy attention. And yet,\u00a0<em>Zone of Interest<\/em> seems, at this point anyway, to be one of the defining movies of the year, formally daring and topically urgent. We\u2019d hope that, at the very least, the German-language film will end up in the international feature category. We could also see Glazer getting into best director, as that branch sometimes ventures further into the foreign arthouse than do most other groups within the Academy. A movie like\u00a0<em>The Zone of Interest<\/em> was certainly not made to win Academy Awards, and its legacy will not suffer should it be blanked. But a new and improving Academy would do well to keep Glazer\u2019s film in mind, a singular work of art that seized Cannes in a mighty death grip.\u00a0<em>\u2014Richard Lawson<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\"><em><strong>Killers of the Flower Moon<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\"><strong>Martin Scorsese<\/strong>\u2019s out of competition feature is an ambitious film that spans three and a half hours, full of incredible visuals and strong performances from Scorsese regulars <strong>Leonardo DiCaprio<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Robert DeNiro<\/strong>. The film, based on\u00a0<strong>David Grann<\/strong>\u2019s book, chronicles the murders of Osage people in 1920 Oklahoma. DiCaprio and DeNiro play two white men who move into Osage territory hoping to glean off the wealth the Native American tribe has amassed due to the oil on their land. What\u2019s really exciting about the film is the performance of\u00a0<strong>Lily Gladstone<\/strong>, who plays Mollie, one of the Osage women whose family and friends are murdered. A confident and charismatic performance left me hopeful that perhaps Gladstone \u2014 known for starring in\u00a0<strong>Kelly Reichardt<\/strong>\u2019s\u00a0<em>Certain Women<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 could be a part of the acting Oscar conversation along with DiCaprio and DeNiro. With the film\u2019s long runtime, most people are able to find something to gripe about, but overall, it\u2019s an epic tale told with Scorsese\u2019s confident abilities. I imagine that Apple will make it a priority for awards season, where it could compete both above and below the line, along with for picture. Time will tell if it fares better than his last film\u00a0<em>The Irishman<\/em> (which earned 10 nominations but zero wins), but\u00a0<em>Killers of the Flower Moon<\/em>\u00a0is arguably a story that feels more impactful and significant, especially for a community so rarely represented in Hollywood.\u00a0<em>\u2014Rebecca Ford<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/hollywood\/2023\/05\/cannes-film-festival-reviews-best-films-oscars\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>That\u2019s a wrap on the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, but which of its many films will we be talking about later this year and into 2024?\u00a0Triangle of Sadness,\u00a0Top Gun: Maverick and\u00a0Elvis all went from Cannes to the Oscars last year, but it\u2019s usually difficult to predict exactly which ones will remain in the conversation.
