The multiverse fever of May breaks very soon and in its place, whatever June brings. But what will that be... beside birthday gifts for me (haha) But let's look back quickly at May in case you missed these highlights. You've been quiet as mice in the comments but we hope you're still enjoying. We do take requests if you have any. (May was very light outside of Cannes coverage we're aware but June will be jam-packed. Gird your loins)
A Dozen May Highlights
• FYC Honorary Oscars - 20 suggestions
• Anthony Hopkins full casting circle - from CS Lewis to Sigmund Freud
• Best Shot: Happy Together - what a ravishment to revisit
• Nostalgia via The Breakfast Club - Baby Clyde revisited from a British kid-at-the-time perspective
• On Alexander Skarsgård - Matt says he's a character actor in hunk body
• Multiverse of Madness - Raves for The Scarlet Witch, otherwise... eh
• Returning Show Bottleneck - Chris wondered what will happen at the Emmys since they like to repeat themselves but ALL of their favs are returning (so they won't be able to to)
• Support Everything Everywhere All At Once - Eurocheese argued it's a cant-miss big screen event. Lots of people agreed to leggy box office results
and of course our Cannes coverage with 1 of us (Elisa) in the South of France and 2 of us (Nathaniel and Cláudio) typing away from our homes...
• Cannes Winners - with links to all of Elisa's reviews
• Cannes at Home: The Square and 4 Month 3 Weeks and 2 Days - It's hard to pick just one of Cláudio's retros to share but both of these films are so fascinating so it was great to revisit mentally if not by actual screenings
• Cannes Fashion - Your last chance to vote on these 11 rounds of Cannes gowns. Who were the greatest actress fashionistas this edition?
