The main argument that I keep getting is that it was a scheduling issue. “The Son” and “The Whale” don’t screen in Venice until AFTER Telluride is over in Venice, plus “The Son” lead Hugh Jackman was able to go to TIFF on a Monday (which is a day off for his Broadway musical) but not Telluride. Then again, as far as “The Whale” is concerned, Venice boss Alberto Barbera has always been very accommodating to Telluride titles screening on the first few days of his fest, he’s doing it again this year with “Tar,” “Bardo,” and Bones & All.” Take note, “The Whale” and “The Son” will also not be going to the New York Film Festival. Of course, it seems obvious to me that Aronofsky’s film will be a polarizer, but “The Son” as well? These are the 23 films that we know are Telluride-bound: Tar (Field)Bones and All (Guadagnino)Bardo (Inarritu)The Wonder (Leilo)Empire of Light (Mendes)Women Talking (Polley)A Compassionate Spy (James)My Name is Alfred Hitchcock (Cousins)Theater of Thought (Werner Herzog)Aftersun (Charlotte Wells)Godland (Hlynur Pálmason)The US and the Holocaust (Ken Burns)Sr. (Smith)Good Night Oppy (White)Holy Spider (Abbasi)Armageddon Time (Gray)One Fine Morning (Hansen-Løve)Broker (Kore-eda)Close (Dhont)Living (Hermanus)All the Beauty and the Bloodshed (Poitras)Desperate Souls, Dark City and the Legend of Midnight Cowboy (Buirsky) Contribute Hire me
