Frémaux was a guest on the French show La Grande Table Culture this past Monday and namechecked Wes Anderson’s film “The French Dispatch,” which he says was locked and loaded for official competition. Frémaux described Anderson’s film as a “unique, minimalist, and extraordinary work. The film is self-referential, a tribute to the French press of the 1930s and to French Culture.” Other films mentioned by Frémaux include Paul Verhoeven’s “Benedetta,” and Nanni Moretti’s “Tre Piani,” both of which, according to him, could very well appear at the 2021 edition of the festival.
