He will win European complaint (and against the EU) From Green border? Or will the fictional Odyssey be better than I’m the captain? What if instead feminist fantasy in power From Poor things (Poor creatures!) defeated everyone? Last possibility: if, not wanting to “disappoint” anyone, the jury gave preference to intimate Memory?

Yorgos Lanthimos and Emma Stone: director/writer and protagonist Poor things
Upcoming the preferences of Italian critics are Poor things Yorgos Lanthimos (in Italian: Poor creatures!) which was closely followed by the Japanese Evil does not exist Ryusuke Hamaguchi. They started out as favorites and remained so.
But during the festival it took increasingly political overtones. Green border Polish Agnieszka Holland (condemnation of EU policies towards migrants) e I’m the captain Matteo Garrone (another immigrant story, less political) is tied for third place.
Among other Italians Aeneas preceded Adagio, Commander, Lubo AND Finally dawn.
Greek Poor things it is also at the top of preferences foreign critics. They follow him Green Border, Master Bradley Cooper, Evil does not exist AND Bethe Frenchman Bertrand Bonello.
However, be careful. A President of the Jury as Damien Chazelle could go on Source Ava DuVernay (from a Pulitzer Prize-winning essay that reinterprets global Nazism: a traditional film, but one that goes straight to the heart). OR Memorylove story directed by La La Land I must have really liked it.
Among the actors Emma Stone From Poor things it should have no competitors. Men’s choice is more “complicated”: Caleb Landry Jones From dog man Luc Besson? Michael Fassebender From Murderer? Peter Sarsgaard V Memory? Mads Mikkelsen in Bastarden?
What if you decide to reward an Italian? The most “correct” choice would be Franz RogowskiGerman Lubo. And also because two young heroes I’m the captain are ideal candidates for the Marcello Mastroianni Prize as a revelation…
See you tonight…
