Oh, and did we mention that there's even a good new Nicolas Cage film? And a good Evil Dead sequel?

For their film that shared the Jury Prize with EO at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival, Felix Van Groeningen (Beautiful Boy, The Broken Circle Breakdown) and his partner, Charlotte Vandermeersch, adapt Italian author Paolo Cognetti’s award-winning 2016 novel about the decades-long friendship formed in the Italian Alps between Pietro and Bruno (played in adulthood by real-life friends Luca Marinelli and Alessandro Borghi). It’s a delicate contemplation of love, family, the lasting impact of childhood experiences, and our connection to nature.
