Fall festivals including Venice, Toronto, New York, and Telluride will showcase a mix of international auteurs, breakout discoveries, and major studio contenders. New films are expected from established directors such as Luca Guadagnino, Yorgos Lanthimos, Sofia Coppola, Chloé Zhao, Steven Soderbergh, Park Chan-wook, Noah Baumbach, and others, alongside many emerging voices. Guadagnino's new psychological thriller stars Julia Roberts as Alma, a Yale philosophy professor whose ordered life unravels after her protégé accuses a close colleague of assault while that colleague accuses Alma of plagiarism; Alma also fears a secret from her past will surface. The festival season promises dozens of potential awards contenders and discoveries.
Ah, what's that chill in the air? It's movies. As the summer blockbuster season winds down, cinephiles are already turning their attention to the fall film festivals - where some of the year's most anticipated and awards-worthy titles will begin to make their mark (or, in the case of plenty of gems from Sundance, Berlin, and Cannes, get a second wind).
The trifecta of Venice, Toronto, and New York (and, of course, that wily and secretive Telluride) once again promises a compelling lineup of international auteurs, breakout discoveries, and major studio contenders. In the coming weeks, we will see (and tell you all about) new films from filmmakers like Luca Guadagnino, Yorgos Lanthimos, Sofia Coppola, Chloé Zhao, Steven Soderbergh, Park Chan-wook, Noah Baumbach, Mamoru Hosoda, Nia DaCosta, Rian Johnson, Mona Fastvold, and Romain Gavras, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Luca Guadagnino turns slightly away from his usual subjects, sex and love, in this provocative original from actress-turned-screenwriter Nora Garrett. The psychological thriller stars Julia Roberts as Alma, a Yale philosophy professor whose ordered life is uprooted when her protégé (Ayo Edebiri) makes assault accusations against her close friend and colleague (Andrew Garfield), who in turn charges her with plagiarism. Who to believe? Alma also fears that a secret from her own past will come to light.
