It's a new episode of the Asian A.V. Club What to Watch podcast as we continue to take a look at some of the buzzy titles that came out of the big fall film festivals the past few weeks. After kicking off our last episode from Venice, we now take a look at Telluride and Toronto film festivals and choose a few movies that we think should definitely be on your radar this season! Once again the amazing Patrick Heidmann returns to join in on the talk (mainly cause he just makes it more legit!)
At the top of our list is dir: Kaouther Ben Hania's THE VOICE OF HIND RAJAB, a devastating re-enactment film where a group of volunteers try to figure out how to save a young Palestinian girl as she is being surrounded by Israeli tanks. Officially Tunisia's submission for foreign language Oscars this might be a surprise title that people will be talking about in the coming months.
We also take a look at the biopic SPRINGSTEEN: DELIVER ME FROM NOWHERE by dir: Scott Cooper starring Jeremy Allen White as the boss during a crossroads in his career. HAMNET is high on our must-watch list, as dir: Chloé Zhao gives Jessie Buckley a role that will be on everyone’s lips after they see this dramatic retelling of how William Shakespeare wrote Hamlet.
Next it's the return of Benoit Blanc, as Daniel Craig reunites with dir: Rian Johnson on a third installment of KNIVES OUT: WAKE UP DEAD MAN. With yet another star studded cast, the film is said to be more emotional than previous installments, and that gets us very excited!
FINALLY, we talk about three movies that aren't at these festivals that will be big players during this season (SINNERS, WEAPONS and ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER)
Hopefully these two special episodes from these film festivals will give you a good idea of the titles that should be on your award season radar this year.
Remember to subscribe because we go back to our regular look at new tv shows and movies that will set you up for the next few weeks!
