On a side note, before I get to the bigger story here, Bertrand Bonello (“Nocturama”), whose latest film “Coma” is being critically-hailed at Berlin, will not be able to complete his next film, “The Beast,” in time for Cannes in May. What will also not be ready for Cannes 2022 is Nuri Bilge Ceylan’s “On Barren Weeds”. According to “Hanimal”, the film still needs to shoot more outdoor winter shots. This is a blow to the fest as it surely had an open competition slot ready for Ceylan’s latest. The Turkish filmmaker, who has become a staple of the Festival with his 2014 Palme d’Or winner “Winter Sleep,” and other prize winners such as “Once Upon A Time in Anatolia” and “Distant,” will be opting for a 2023 premiere instead.
