MOST ANTICIPATED MOVIES OF 2023
Yes, the year JUST ended. Why am I already doing what’s coming next? When I’m not getting paid to do so? Love of the game, baby. The game in this case is movies. They are good.
I always enjoy doing this every year because it’s like a time capsule for what I was expecting or knew about and then checking at the end of the year to see how I did guessing what I would like most. I’m wrong a lot but I also nail a lot of them. So join me on looking through some quick snapshots at some movies coming this year that I’m interested in.
There are more than this even but I thought stopping at 50 seemed reasonable. Don’t worry, I kept it short.
50. Saltburn
Written/Directed by Emerald Fennell (Promising Young Woman) - Starring: Rosamund Pike, Barry Keoghan, Richard E. Grant, Jacob Elordi, and Carey Mulligan
After coming out super hot with Promising Young Woman, the 2nd feature from Fennell is about a grand aristocratic family in England and deals with obsession. I assume it will be weird and funny and with this cast she can’t go too wrong. Carey Mulligan joins her and it’s shot by Linus Sandgren who did La La Land, No Time to Die, First Man, Babylon so it’ll look real nice.
49. The Royal Hotel
Directed by Kitty Green (The Assistant) - Starring: Julia Garner, Jessica Henwick, and Hugo Weaving
After making critical & indie acclaim waves a couple years ago with The Assistant, Kitty Green is back with a movie about two friends who run out of money backpacking in Australia and work at a hotel. She teams back up with Julia Garner who is great, and should be a nice sophomore movie also about the dynamics of young women in the working world surrounded by men.
48. Priscilla
Directed by Sofia Coppola (Lost in Translation, Marie Antoinette) - Starring: Cailee Spaeny, Jacob Elordi
Yes, there’s another Elvis movie but this time from Priscilla’s POV and made by a relaxed but master filmmaker. I wish Sofia was making something less treaded but she also made a Marie Antoinette movie that ruled so I have faith. Cailee Spaeny isn’t well known but she is a fantastic actress. She made quite the impression in TV on Mare of Easttown, Devs, and also led the Pacific Rim sequel and I always cheer for her.
47. Road House
Directed by Doug Liman (Edge of Tomorrow, The Bourne Identity) - Starring: Jake Gyllenhaal and Billy Magnussen
Yes, a Road House remake where Jake Gyllenhaal is a former UFC fighter that is now a bouncer at a rowdy club in Florida and not everything is at it seems. Sure, it could be a nostalgia cash grab and not be good. OR HEAR ME OUT, the director of really creative fun movies takes what could be a frustrating attempt to just make everything anyone has heard of again and makes a fun, exciting, interesting movie. Gyllenhaal really carries the weight here since I kind of trust him.
46. She Came to Me
Written/Directed by Rebecca Miller (Maggie’s Plan) - Starring: Peter Dinklage, Anne Hathaway, and Marisa Tomei
After suffering writers block an artist finds himself again after a one night stand. It’s a new york love story movie by a great writer and partner of Daniel Day-Lewis. Her previous feature was an odd love triangle movie and this one seems like it also might be. Going from Greta Gerwig, Julianne Moore, and Ethan Hawke to this cast shows she knows how to write.
45. Black Flies
Directed by Jean-Stephane Sauvaire (A Prayer Before Dawn) - Starring: Tye Sheridan, Sean Penn, Katherine Waterston, Michael Pitt and Mike Tyson
a new paramedic gets shown the ropes by the grizzled veteran and starts realizing life isn’t what he thought it was. I love these kinds of movies. Penn hasn’t been good in a long time and I’m ready to see if he still has it. Sheridan can be hit and miss but as a conduit for the cities endless bleakness I think he will fit perfectly here.
44. Untitled Please Don’t Destroy movie
Directed by Paul Briganti - Starring: Ben Marshall, Martin Herlihy, John Higgins, Conan O’Brien, and Bowen Yang
Ben Marshall, Martin Herlihy, and John Higgins make up the Please Don’t Destroy comedy group who have become my 2nd favorite part of SNL the last two seasons (Sarah Sherman!!) and now they get to make a movie about three friends who go search for treasure in a mountain. They have great comic timing and I hope they figure out how to harness that for a whole feature. Looking forward to seeing what they guys do.
43. Nightbitch
Directed by Marielle Heller (Can You Ever Forgive Me?, The Diary of a Teenage Girl) - Starring: Amy Adams, Scoot McNairy, and Mary Holland
A woman begins to suspect she is turning into a dog. There’s a movie called Bitch from 2017 I saw that this really sounds like and I hope they didn’t steal the idea. But Amy Adams slowly turning into a dog is must see. Heller has become a reliable filmmaker and getting to be weird again like she was with her debut sounds like a continuation of a good career.
42. Inside
Directed by Vasilis Katsoupis - Starring: Willem Dafoe
Dafoe plays an art thief who gets trapped in a penthouse in NY and must try to get out. Looks like it will be tense and a lot of fun and the one guy is trapped in a bad situation gimmick always gets me. I know almost nothing about this outside of that. Never heard of the director or anyone else involved. Dafoe is the man.
41. Boston Strangler
Directed by Matt Ruskin - Starring: Keira Knightley, Carrie Coon, Alessandro Nivola, Chris Cooper, David Dastmalchian, Morgan Spector, and Rory Cochrane
A movie about the putting together of the Boston Strangler case. From what I’ve read it was quite bizarre. This could be a B level Zodiac/Spotlight or maybe it rises above. Carrie Coon really helps put it in my top 50. Knightley and Coon being the newspaper reporters on the beat sounds perfect to me.
40. The Burial
Written/Directed by Margaret Betts (Novitiate) - Starring: Jamie Foxx, Tommy Lee Jones, Jurnee Smollett, and Bill Camp
A lawyer helps a funeral home owner save his business from a corporation and uncovers a lot more in the process. This is a cast and potential for a great story feeling here. Tommy Lee Jones and Jamie Foxx do the heavy lifting and form what I read it will deal with our prejudices as a country and I love small stories like this that spin out to a lot more. So this is hoping it becomes an investigation movie.
39. Blitz
Written/Directed by Steve McQueen (12 Years a Slave, Widows) - Starring: Saorise Ronan, Harris Dickinson, and Stephen Graham
During an aerial bombing of the british capital in WW2 a group of people try to survive. McQueen is truly gifted filmmaker and after making his 5 film Small Axe series for Amazon, he is back with a standalone movie. It gets up this high based on his and Saorise’s reputation alone.
38. Finalmente L’alba
Written/Directed by Saverio Costanzo (Hungry Hearts) - Starring: Lily James, Willem Dafoe, Rachel Sennott, and Joe Keery
A long and intense night in 1950s rome following an actress interacting with an american production of a sword and sandals movie. I don’t know what to fully expect here but it’s a feeling I have with this cast and the director’s previous movie I’ve seen that I think this will be a good one.
37. Havoc
Written/Directed by Gareth Evans (The Raid, The Raid, The Raid 2) - Starring: Tom Hardy, Forest Whitaker, Timothy Olyphant, and Luis Guzman
Evans isn’t super popular but if you love action/fighting movies you have to seek him out. The Raid movies are the best fight movies I’ve ever seen. He films fights and action better than anyone for my money. He made a netflix movie in the vein of The Wicker Man a few years ago called The Apostle I recommend that gets a little gnarly starring Dan Stevens and Michael Sheen about a secluded island cult. This one is Tom Hardy fighting a bunch of criminals all over a city. I expect it to rule.
36. Leave the World Behind
Directed by Sam Esmail (Mr. Robot) - Starring: Julia Roberts, Mahershala Ali, Ethan Hawke, and Kevin Bacon
When a blackout happens families are left with difficult decisions and don’t know who to believe. Easy enough for me to be in. Esmail has made some very memorable TV and I haven’t seen his romance movie he made called Comet, but I know he is great with the camera and crafts very tension filled atmosphere. A top notch cast and thrilling idea should make it a good movie.
35. El Conde
Directed by Pablo Larrain (Spencer, Jackie)
A dark comedy about a Chilean dictator as a 250 year old vampire. This guy makes some of the most beautiful and tense movies around so I have no doubt this will be gorgeous to look at but will it work? No idea. Just know I’ll be seeing it.
34. Strangers
Written/Directed by Andrew Haigh (45 Years, Lean on Pete) - Starring Andrew Scott, Claire Foy, Paul Mescal, and Jamie Bell
This director makes beautiful images and has a real knack for hard hitting emotion in soft quiet films. I expect this to be similar with an adaptation of this somewhat ghost story about childhood and our parents. This cast plus a good director and story should make it a top film of next year if everything works.
33. Showing Up
Written/Directed by Kelly Reichardt (Certain Women, First Cow) - Starring: Michelle Williams, Hong Chau, Andre 3000, Judd Hirsch, and John Magaro
About an artist who has a show coming up and then chaos in her life leads her to more art. Since it’s a Reichardt movie it will be low key, lightly charming and funny and have some poignancy I assume. Michelle Williams is must watch anytime she stars in something.
32. Memory
Written/Directed by Michel Franco (Sundown, Chronic) - Starring: Jessica Chastain, Peter Sarsgaard, Merrit Weaver, Josh Charles, Elsie Fisher, and Jessica Harper
Franco has become a new favorite since I saw Sundown this past year. It was one of my 10 favorites and even though I didn’t love his controversial movie from 2019 New Order, i was fascinated by it. He is a unique filmmaker and getting his first big new york movie sounds great. I’m ready to see what this great cast and he cooks up.
31. Cuckoo
Written/Directed by Tilman Singer (Luz) - Starring: Hunter Schafer, Jessica Henwick, and Dan Stevens
This one is purely on vibes and guessing about movies over the years. Things just line up right sometimes and I think this is one that will. The director has a cool visual style, he is interested in dark fast moving stories, the cast is young & weird, and it has a good title. It’s about a 17 year old girl being chased by a mysterious woman at a resort. Seems like it’s got supernatural elements too. Ready to see what this is.
30. The Last Voyage of the Demeter
Directed by Andre Øvredal (Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, The Autopsy of Jane Doe) - Starring David Dastmalchian, Aisling Franciosi, Liam Cunningham, Corey Hawkins, and Woody Norman
A Bram Stoker story about a merchant ship carrying cargo that causes strange events. I love this kind of stuff when done right and the director showed me enough in the two movies I listed next to him up there that he may nail it.
29. Spaceman
Directed by Johan Renck (Chernobyl) - Starring: Adam Sandler, Carey Mulligan, Paul Dano, and Isabella Rossellini
Yes, Sandler is making a big netflix movie with a great cast and good director. Do I know the tone of this one? No I don’t. I have no idea if this will be fun but good or like his other movies. I would guess it will actually be trying for real quality and not just silly jokes. But we will see! It’s adapted from a book and sounds very interesting.
28. How Do You Live?
Written/Directed by Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro)
A huge event when a Studio Ghibli movie by the legend comes out. He’s been working on it a long time and sounds like it should make us all cry. Can’t wait to see what he’s made. I have liked every one of his movies I’ve seen. If you haven’t shown your kids (yourself) Ponyo, get on that.
27. Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One
Directed by Christopher McQuarrie (Tom Cruise, Tom Cruise) - Starring: Tom Cruise, Rebecca Ferguson, Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames, Hayley Atwell, Vanessa Kirby, and Cary Elwes
I have a resistance to Cruise and his death defying exploits. I only ever see a big weirdo who is the face of a cult. BUT I still enjoy a fun time at the movies and he certainly delivers that. They don’t stay with me long after I see them, but they are rewatchable and easy to like. This one looks no different. Ready to see some crazy stunts.
26. Misanthrope
Written/Directed by Damian Szifron (Wild Tales) - Starring: Shailene Woodley, Ben Mendelsohn, Jovan Adepo, and Ralph Ineson
Not much is known about some of these and all I have for this is that it’s about tracking a serial killer. This directer had an awesome movie called Wild Tales years ago and with this cast plus what I saw in that this gets a higher spot than some others I might have more experience with.
25. The Holdovers
Directed by Alexander Payne (The Descendants, Sideways) - Starring: Paul Giamatti
About a teacher who has to stay with a troublemaking student over the holidays. Payne and Giamatti reteaming is worth looking forward to. Even when Payne has missed in the grand scheme of things like with Downsizing I still liked it.
24. Magic Mike’s Last Dance
Directed by Steven Soderbergh (Ocean’s Eleven, Out of Sight) - Starring: Channing Tatum & Salma Hayek
The final installment of this unlikely franchise. Magic Mike XXL was truly great and this one may not live up to that joyous film, but it can be a great way to start the year with it coming out around Valentine’s day. This one involves him putting on a stage show, you guessed it, one last time. Sign me up.
23. Challengers
Directed by Luca Guadagnino (Call Me By Your Name, Bones & All) - Starring: Zendaya, Mike Faist, and Josh O’Connell
A tennis movie! A tennis coach gets her husband to be a champion and after he has a slump she enters him in a tournament where he must play his former best friend/her ex. Sounds wonderful and with an intriguing young cast. Zendaya having to play someone who is already retired from something is weird but also Serena has warped our ideas of how old tennis players are when they are good. But Luca has made only good movies so I expect this to be good and have some nice tennis action.
22. May December
Directed by Todd Haynes (Safe, I’m Not There the bob dylan movie not the Joaquin is a rapper now one) - Starring: Julianne Moore & Natalie Portman
Todd Haynes and Julianne Moore only produce bangers when they work together. Haynes most recently made a really good drama about the true story of a company causing cancer by leaking chemicals in a region in West Virginia called Dark Waters with Mark Ruffalo. This one sounds more like he is back to his style and I’m ready to see which of Moore or Portman acts the biggest & hardest.
21. Napoleon
Directed by Ridley Scott (Alien, The Counselor) - Starring: Joaquin Phoenix & Vanessa Kirby
Joaquin and Ridley haven’t worked together since Gladiator and apparently Joaquin helped rewrite a lot of this new movie just by being himself. This is a project Kubrick wanted to make for a long time and now it finally gets made this way. It will be very different than if ol’ Stanley did it, but I have no doubt we will get good performances in this big epic.
20. Maestro
Directed by Bradley Cooper (A Star is Born) - Starring: Bradley Cooper, Carey Mulligan, Sarah Silverman, Jeremy Strong, and Maya Hawke
Bradley Cooper will be making his sophomore effort on a project that has been around for a while now. I’ve read he will be playing Leonard Bernstein the famous composer for a stretch of maybe 40 years. He will be going for the Oscar and we should all be glad he is. This has a chance to be very good or a huge miss.
19. The Iron Claw
Written/Directed by Sean Durkin (Martha Marcy May Marlene, The Nest) - Starring: Zac Efron, Harris Dickinson, Jeremy Allen White, Holy McCallany, Lily James, and Maura Tierney
The story of the rise and fall of the Von Erich wrestling family. Durkin typically makes subdued tense dramas and throwing in wrestling should make a fun mix. I’m ready to see Efron challenge himself here. He can be a really good actor.
18. The Actor
Written/Directed by Duke Johnson (Anomalisa) - Starring: Andre Holland, Gemma Chan, Tracey Ullman, Joe Cole, and Toby Jones
From the stop motion directing side of the Charlie Kaufman movie team behind Anomalisa comes his big debut based on a novel about an actor beaten and left for dead in Ohio who needs to remember who he was. Ryan Gosling was supposed to do it but he had to drop out.
17. Barbie
Written/Directed by Greta Gerwig (Little Women, Lady Bird) - Starring: Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, America Ferrera, Simu Liu, Kate McKinnon, Will Ferrell, Issa Rae, Michael Cera, and Rhea Perlman
The main reason this is up this high is because of Gerwig leading it. I saw the teaser and it looks fantastic and I trust she will turn something that could just be churned out IP into a memorable fun time. Looks like she is paying homage to classic musicals and dance movies. Margot and Gosling are a can’t miss duo. Ready to see this big pink silly thing.
16. Humane
Directed by Caitlin Cronenberg - Starring: Jay Baruchel, Emily Hampshire, and Peter Gallagher
The first Cronenberg sibling to be on the list and I am ready to see what she has to offer. It is about an environmental collapse that forces humans too shed 20% of the population and a father invites his family to discuss his plans. Takes place over one day and about a family in an intense situation so it’s right up my alley.
15. Loves Lies Bleeding
Written/Directed by Rose Glass (Saint Maud) - Starring: Katy O’Brien, Kristen Stewart, Dave Franco, Ed Harris, and Jena Malone
A determined woman that wants to be a body builder starts using steroids is all I know about this. I know Saint Maud is great, Kristen Stewart usually picks good projects, and I’m going to be there as soon as I can for whatever Rose Glass wanted to make now.
14. The Way of the Wind
Written/Directed by Terrence Malick (A Hidden Life, Badlands) - Starring: Geza Rohrig, Matthias Schoenaerts, Mark Rylance, Joseph Fiennes, Douglas Booth, and Ben Kingsley
All that is known is that it is supposed to be about several events during Jesus Christ’s life. Mark Rylance plays Satan. Malick went through a phase from 2012-2017 that I was not very into. But right before that and after that he made two of the best movies of the last decade. His most recent was A Hidden Life, and I expect this one to be along that front and Tree of Life.
13. Dune: Part Two
Directed by Denis Villeneuve (Prisoners, Enemy) - Starring: Timothee Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Javier Bardem, Florence Pugh, Christopher Walken, Austin Butler, Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsgard, Dave Bautista, Lea Seydoux, Charlotte Rampling, and Stephen McKinley Henderson
I don’t usually get too excited about big franchises like this but the first one was completely engrossing and I love this filmmaker and the strange world. I expect this to be a satisfying part 2 and adding Pugh will only help things.
12. Knock at the Cabin
Written/Directed by M. Night Shyamalan (The Village, Old) - Starring: Jonathan Groff, Ben Aldridge, Kristen Cui, Dave Bautista, Rupert Grint, and Abby Quinn
Now, this isn’t what I expect to be my 12th favorite movie of the year but if you gave me the option to see all the movies that came before this or see this, I’m picking the M Night joint! Even though I didn’t love all of Old, I would watch it again over a lot of movies I liked more right now. I’ve seen the trailer and I’m ready to MAKE THE CHOICE. Looks like a perfect M Night idea, and I want to see Bautista be unnerving and buff in a weird movie.
11. Ferrari
Written/Directed by Michael Mann (Heat, Collateral) - Starring: Adam Driver, Penelope Cruz, and Shailene Woodley
The last time Michael Mann made a movie it was a huge flop. It was Blackhat in 2015, which has been reclaimed in certain film circles as a misunderstood great movie. I don’t agree, but I also should see it again just to be sure. That’s the power Michael Mann has. To this point he has two movies I hear bandied about as masterpieces that I don’t particularly like very much. The aforementioned Blackhat, and 2006’s Miami Vice. BUT, he makes me want to make sure. Every other movie he has made I have liked to loved. He’s an incredible artist who cares about the details so much. I immersed myself in Heat 2 the book this past year and loved spending time in that world again. So, him hooking up with this cast and racing cars? I’m all in.
10. Asteroid City / The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar
Both Directed by Wes Anderson (The Grand Budapest Hotel, Rushmore) - AC Starring: Margot Robbie, Tom Hanks, Maya Hawke, Jeffrey Wright, Scarlett Johansson, Liev Schreiber, Tilda Swinton, Rupert Friend, Jeff Goldblum, Bryan Cranston, Jason Schwartzman, Willem Dafoe, Steve Carell, Adrien Brody, Tony Revolori, Matt Dillon, Hope Davis, Ed Norton, Hong Chau, and Jarvis Crocker
Henry Sugar Starring: Benedict Cumberbatch, Dev Patel, Ralph Fiennes, Ben Kingsley, Rupert Friend, and Richard Ayoade
Wes Anderson is expected to double dip this year and give us two films. The first, Asteroid City, is about junior stargazer/space cadet convention being disrupted by world changing news and sounds delightful and fun. The second is anthology of Roald Dahl stories that should arrive in the fall. Anytime a Wes Anderson movie is coming you need be excited. No one else makes movies like him.
9. Infinity Pool
Written/Directed by Brandon Cronenberg (Possessor) - Starring: Mia Goth & Alexander Skarsgard
A couple staying at a nice resort fall into the hedonism of the outer culture of the region by the guy who made the creepy and impacting Possessor. Mia Goth is on an all time hot streak of being incredible in movies so she is must see right now. I expect this to be a weird one with top 10 of the year potential.
8. The Bikeriders
Written/Directed by Jeff Nichols (Mud, Take Shelter) - Starring: Michael Shannon, Jodie Comer, Austin Butler, Tom Hardy, Norman Reedus, Boyd Holbrook, Damon Herriman, Emory Cohen, Mike Faist, and Karl Glusman
This will be Nichols first movie in 7 years after he got stuck in development hell trying to make a sci-fi film for Disney that they kept stringing him along and then when he finished the script they decided not to make it. Supposedly that really crushed him and he took a while to find his next project. So comes along a 1960’s story of a motorcycle club turning into a more sinister gang and ruining the less shady members way of life. Top notch cast, and I expect it will be very good.
7. Civil War
Written/Directed by Alex Garland (Annihilation, Ex Machina) - Starring: Kirsten Dunst, Wagner Moura, Stephen McKinely Henderson, Cailee Spaeny, Karl Glusman, and Sonoya Mizuno
All that I know is that it’s set in a near future america and its supposed to be an action epic. Since it’s Garland I imagine it will be quite strange and weird and full of big ideas. I liked his movie Men last year, but it was the definition of not for everyone, and this one should at least be more well liked than that.
6. The Killer
Directed by David Fincher (Zodiac, The Social Network) - Starring: Michael Fassbender & Tilda Swinton
Written by Andrew Kevin Walker, who wrote Se7en among other things, and starring two great actors based on a graphic novel, I believe. This should be a return to what people want from Fincher. But, when he returns to form it’s always been darker and meaner than people wanted. So I hope he continues that route here. It’s a Netflix movie, so everyone should be able to see it.
5. Oppenheimer
Written/Directed by Christopher Nolan (Interstellar, The Prestige) - Starring: Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Florence Pugh, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr., Dane DeHaan, Kenneth Branagh, Josh Hartnett, Benny Safdie, Gary Oldman, Matthew Modine, Rami Malek, Alden Ehrenreich, Alex Wolff, Casey Affleck, Jack Quaid, David Krumholtz, Jason Clarke, and Josh Peck
Nolan’s movie about the creation of the atom bomb. Should be incredible. He said he didn’t use CGI for the explosions. So, he ummmm, just blew things up? Love it. Ready to see it on the biggest screen possible.
4. The Zone of Interest
Written/Directed by Jonathan Glazer (Under the Skin, Birth) - Starring: Sandra Huller & Christian Friedel
Glazer has only made 3 feature films in 25 years. He has made a couple shorts and kept himself busy, but anytime he makes a movie it is must see. His first back in 99/2000 was Sexy Beast. An odd and intimidating gangster talky thriller/drama. Then he didn’t make one until Birth with Nicole Kidman in 2005, and then ScarJo’s Under the Skin in 2013. All of these are odd transgressive takes on the type of movie he made. Now he makes his holocaust movie adapted from the book.
3. Poor Things
Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos (The Lobster, The Favourite) - Starring: Emma Stone, Willem Dafoe, Mark Ruffalo, Margaret Qualley, Christopher Abbott, Jerrod Carmichael, Ramy Youssef, and Kathryn Hunter
Adapted from a Scottish book, and sounds insane. Emma Stone I think will be playing a woman that dies and her mad scientist father reanimates her? Wonderful. All in. Anytime Lanthimos makes something it’s a top 5 excitement for me, and this one will be no exception.
2. Killers of the Flower Moon
Directed by Martin Scorsese (After Hours, The Age of Innocence) - Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, Jesse Plemons, Lily Gladstone, Brendan Fraser, John Lithgow, Jason Isbell, and Sturgill Simpson
I read this book years ago and it is great, True story, and I won’t spoil anything but it concerns a murder and the deep tragedy surrounding the Osage people of our country. I expect it to be good, but it has best of the year potential. They filmed it all in the actual places it occurred and should be a long movie with a western feel. Who knows how many more Scorsese movies we get and I will cherish them.
Beau is Afraid
Written/Directed by Ari Aster (Hereditary, Midsommar) - Starring: Joaquin Phoenix, Parker Posey, Nathan Lane, Amy Ryan, Patti LuPone, Zoe Lister-Jones, Stephen McKinley Henderson, and Michael Gandolfini
Both his first two movies have been in my favorites of the year they came out and some of my favorites of the last decade. This one sounds even more ambitious and odd. Ready to see what he has come up with. I’m expecting a Cannes film festival debut. I also wish they hadn’t changed the title and had a better poster, but it doesn’t impact my excitement.
