You know what the ending of Oscar season means…looking towards the April-revealed Cannes lineup!
Of course these potentials are without what we can assume can be many first-time works and titles that we have no idea of knowing yet, and many of these may not be quite ready in time…
The only confirmed competition titles seem to be Suspiria by Guadagnino and Vision by Kawase. But it’d be hard to imagine the likes of Audiard, Ceylan, Farhadi, Lanthimos, Leigh, Nemes, Reygades, Sorrentino, or Zhangke not making the final comp list.

“Sunset” (László Nemes)
“Suspiria” (Luca Guadagnino)

“Winter Flies” (Olmo Omerzu)
“Who Killed Lady Winsley?” (Hiner Saleem)
“A Woman at War” (Benedikt Erlingsson)That’s quite an impressive list OP, thanks for compiling it all. I know speculation technically starts the moment the last Cannes ends, but so much of this is just betting which movies will be finished in time. Either way, thanks for introducing me to some of the new titles foreign directors I like are working on.
The only ones I assumed we’d definitely will see in the competition lineup (or at least at the festival) were The House That Jack Built and High Life. Suspiria seems like it could be an obvious entry if it really has been confirmed. The original is one of my all time favorite films (4K restoration in the cinema *o* ), and following Guadagnino’s path as a filmmaker is just so exciting after dropping CMBYN; completely made me rethink what he is capable of.

NO. Since yesterday Netflix has pulled Norway, Roma, The Other Side of the Wind and They’ll Love Me When I’m Dead. Hold the Dark has also been pulled. Basically just Solo is still premiering.

Hate to be a downer, but literally the ONLY thing I deeply cared about that was going to premiere at Cannes (potentially, not sure if it was ever confirmed outside of serious speculation) was the late great Orson Welles’ finally finished final film, The Other Side of the Wind. Now, with Netflix threatening to withhold films since the festival programmer won’t let them compete in competition, it doesn’t look like it will be shown there. I 100% support Netflix and understand why they are doing this, though I still can’t help feeling disappointment. 🙁
