I’m feeling blue about Jordan Ruimy‘s firm declaration that White Noise, The Son, The Fabelmans, Blonde, The Whale, Master Gardener, She Said, Till, The Eternal Daughter and The Banshees of Inisherin are not going to Telluride.
We all knew The Fabelmans was a Toronto exclusive but that still leaves nine (9) high-interest films not playing in dear, beloved Telluride. How can I not feel dismayed about that? Then again maybe this means they’re all problematic.
Ruimy adds that White Noise, Master Gardener, Bardo, She Said, Bones & All and Blonde will also be absent at Toronto/TIFF. How can Toronto lay claim to being any kind of big-deal, world-class festival and not show Bardo, She Said, White Noise and the others? Then again roughly 100 Toronto films aren’t yet announced.
There are eight films expected to play Telluride that HE is particularly interested in seeing, and in this order: Bardo (Alejandro G. Inarritu), Tar (Todd Field), The Wonder (Sebastian Leilo), Bones and All (Luca Guadagnino), Empire of Light (Sam Mendes), Women Talking (Sarah Polley), All the Beauty and the Bloodshed (Laura Poitras) and The Pale Blue Eye (Scott Cooper).
