Yesterday, the Cannes Film Festival 2018 unveiled its list of films to be presented, and Asghar Farhadi’s “Everybody Knows” will be shown at the festival’s opening night. Why it has the the signs to be a great psychological thriller? It comes from the director who crafted Oscar-winners “A Separation” (2011) and “The Salesman” (2016) plus it stars such great actors as Javier Bardem (“Skyfall” (2012), “Mother!” (2017)), Penelope Cruz and Ricardo Darin (“The Secret in Their Eyes” (2009)). The story itself even seems to have something of an Agatha Christie-vibe to it; definitely something to look forward to.
Thanks for the trailer.

Very cool. It seems intense. Good to see Penelope back. Motherhood seems to agree with her.

Thanks for this, exciting news Everybody Knows is ready for Cannes. Will the filmmakers secure the rights to the Leonard Cohen song of the same name I wonder?
At the same time, I was mildly disappointed by the official Cannes lineup which I wrote about in a post today. Still, there’s a nice selection, even if it (as yet) isn’t quite the list I hoped for!

Indeed. I am so glad someone said what I only thought – I was also disappointed about this year’s line-up. I honestly can say I expected some films there and did not find them at all? What’s happening? The MeToo campaign doing? Netflix out? A conundrum. Perhaps the movies I longed to see haven’t been completed.
