Cannes 2020, tutti i film della Selezione Ufficiale

Facciamoci male. Non fosse già abbastanza surreale la situazione, a meno di due settimane da quella che sarebbe stata la naturale conclusione dell’edizione di quest’anno, abbiamo tra le mani la Selezione Ufficiale dei film che avremmo visto a Cannes. Presentata meno di due ore fa da Pierre Lescure e Thierry Frémaux, come anticipato settimana scorsa, al suo interno ci troviamo cose che senza dubbio ci è dispiaciuto non vedere.

Per esempio, non uno ma due film di by Steve McQueen. Ricordate che il regista di Hunger e Shame era a lavoro su una serie TV per la BBC? Bene, non è più una serie TV: ora sono appunto due lungometraggi, Mangrove e Lover’s Rock, ed entrambi potranno beneficiare del blasonato bollino cannense. Che altro?

Beh, Wes Anderson ci sarebbe stato, così come François Ozon e Thomas Vinterberg. Memori della scorsa annata, quest’anno i sudcoreani sarebbero stati due, ovvero Im Sang-Soo e Yeon Sang-Ho. C’è l’opera seconda di Francis Lee e cinque commedie francesi. Non solo: avrebbero infatti trovato spazio sia l’ultimo film di Gorô Miyazaki che Soul della Pixar.

Per il resto no, niente italiani, nemmeno il primo film in lingua inglese di Nanni Moretti; che, per non esserci, potrebbe a nostro parere slittare al prossimo anno, giocandosi le proprie chance la prossima edizione. Detto ciò, chissà se e quanti di questi si vedranno in altri Festival (Mostra in primis, chiaro); Cannes intanto ha parlato. Di seguito tutti i film.
