The film is being sold here at the Cannes market with Paris-based Wild Bunch so confident in the film that they are showing a four-minute trailer to buyers. There’s even a rollout plan for a theatrical release across Europe in November. However, not even in France, where Polanski calls his home, and is revered, wants to touch the $17 million budgeted film Maybe they’re waiting to see if Venice picks it up for their competition in September? The film is described as “a comedy showing the naivety, hedonism, corruption and social inequity which lie at the root of the world’s current problems.” The narrative “interweaves multiple storylines, spanning the entire social spectrum.” “The Palace” is being pitched as “above all, a provocative comedy – bitter at times, frivolous and eccentric at others, which will leave the viewer with a lingering question: what went wrong?” It does sound as though Polanski might be throwing darts at his critics again with this one, much like he did in his last film, 2019’s “An Officer and A Spy” (which was never released in the U.S.).
