Nowhere to Lay My Eyes (Hong Sang-soo)
Hong.
Possible Love (Lee Chang-dong)
Lee.
Tender Loving Care (Mike Leigh)
Completely blanked on Hard Truths two years ago, not making the same mistake this time.
Fire Flower (Ana Vaz)
It Is Night in America not being in Currents gives me some pause, but Vaz has been prominent for a while.
Hearing (Lê Bảo)
Taste was well-received.
The House on the Moon (Nelson Yeo)
Dreaming & Dying was at ND/NF, and a role for Lee Kang-sheng can’t hurt.
September Afternoon (Nicolaas Schmidt)
A wishful pick, given how much I appreciated FIRST TIME.
Tomorrow a Long Time Ago (Luise Donschen)
Casanova Gene was in Art of the Real.
Revolutionaries Never Die (Mohanad Yaqubi)
Sounds intriguing and would fit in well with the current revival for Jocelyne Saab’s work.
Sixteen Moments of My Life (Albert Serra)
Serra.
Artificial (Luca Guadagnino)
Really could go anywhere in the selection, now that Guadagnino’s been Opening Night.
The Debut (Jesse Eisenberg)
A Real Pain was a pleasant surprise for Spotlight last time; if I had to guess a Spotlight gala it’d be this one.
