Or the most unique love of all, the love between a distributor and a festival title it has acquired? We are here to investigate these questions with a series of games designed to pair partners together. Also, there is news.

2022-04-151h 36Cannes I Kick ItBarton FinkThe Life of the Mind! It’s what John Goodman promises/threatens to show us near the end of the Coen Brothers exceptional Cannes favorite BARTON FINK. We’ve talked in the past about how the volume of wins for FINK was such a sensation that Cannes instituted new rules about how to properly designate multi-award winning films, but what about the movie itself? We get into all of it, the cast, the setting, and where it sits in the ever popular Coens oeuvre. Also discussed: Important Cannes Fortnite (and other) news.

2022-04-081h 46Cannes I Kick ItThe Archers with Daniel FosterThis week we take aim at The Archers! Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, masters of technicolor, had some significant play at early festivals, so we took a look at 2 of their biggest 1948's THE RED SHOES and 1951's TALES OF HOFFMANN. Joined by returning favorite Daniel Foster, we talk technicolor, the enduring power of opera, and Andy makes an incredibly unsettling personal revelation in regards to his ambitions. All this plus some early Cannes leaks!

The gang talks through the major (and a bit of the minor) festivals of each year, looking at their early history, the shape of their awards slates, and what the style and flavor of each festival has. From Sundance to New York, if you've ever been lost hearing us talk about any of these festivals, or you just want a brush up on how this world crosses over and shapes the film calendar, this is the episode for YOU!

We take a look at 80s Cannes player EXCALIBUR, John Boorman’s telling of, well, the whole Arthur story, as well as new release THE GREEN KNIGHT, David Lowery’s trippy and challenging take on the story of Sir Gawain. Joining us is the host of HEAVY MEDDLE, the great ETHAN BRUNDEEN! We talk muck, Lowery’s festival history, “one for them, one for me” filmmaking, and Andy may even work in some talk of HAMILTON. All this plus more news of the NYFF lineup!

We pair it with a very tonally different recent offering of his, SLACK BAY. Joining us to ponder these extremely extreme movies is comedian and improv teacher WILL HINES! How does Dumont’s portrayal of war land with an audience? What exactly is his festival history? And how do The Klumps enter into all this? All these questions answered, plus the NYFF Main Slate and...

We've paired it with an earlier film of his which shares a few plot elements in an unexpected way, 1995's The Flower of My Secret. Which is the better film? How is Almodóvar the master of plot?

We also fail to explain what Un Certain Regard is. It's a sidebar programmed by the Cannes programmers (unlike Directors' Fortnight which is run autonomously) and mostly reserved for newer or less accessible filmmakers - Fremaux has said he doesn't consider it a lesser section but it basically is. Still, it houses quite a few gems and 2009 is an outstanding edition.
