UPDATED with Hayao Miyazaki’s “How Do You Live?,” Kitty Green’s “The Royal Hotel” ,” David Michod’s “Wizards,” Brandon Cronenberg’s “Infinity Pool” Marielle Heller’s “NightBitch” William Oldroyd’s “Eileen” Cory Finley’s “Landscape With Invisible Hands” Joshua Oppenheimer’s “The End,” Emerald Fennell’s “Saltburn” and Ethan Coen’s Untitled Road Movie.
EARLIER: I’m currently tracking these 2023 films.
If I’m missing any then please let me know. This is the start of my blueprint for our annual “Most Anticipated” list, which usually runs in December. I know, I know, a tad too early? But you have to start early with these.
2023 looks good on paper, but if this year has taught us anything, it’s not to have our expectations raised too high as plenty of films get pushed back or delayed. What we are looking for are movies from well-known and/or well-regarded filmmakers. I’ve amassed around 50 titles so far.
