Last year, we were blessed with Lady Gaga's "Shallow" moan and (damn, some cursed), the eventual winner of the best movie Green paper. What joys will this international Toronto film festival bring? The vulture packs his bags and sends us north: we head for TIFF and, by extension, in the early days of the rewards season. As usual, the festival has many titles in vogue: Noah Baumbach's Wedding storyTerrence Malick's A hidden life, Rian Johnson Knives releasedand two duets of Renée Zellweger and Eddie Murphy. What should be on your TIFF Radar? Fisheries in Parasite, The mink coat of J.Lo en Hustlers, the Ford v Ferrari co-leaders, and Kevin Garnett and some Uncut gems. Here's what vulture is going to get at the festival looking for:
Hustlers
What is the current price on the American dream these days? A handful of strippers, a bunch of guys on Wall Street and a few credit cards, depending Hustlers. The film is based on New YorkThe saga of a fast enrichment program run by resourceful women who dance and take drugs to rent checks and Louboutins. Lorene Scafaria leads a breathtaking scenario: Jennifer Lopez and Constance Wu form the Kobe-and-Shaq team behind the shot and share scenes with Lizzo, Cardi B and a very surprising cameo superstar. J.Lo is already starting to be talked about for playing the mama-bear brain – Variety called it "Erin Brockovich's moment", but instead of fighting a big and bad utility company, J.Lo & Co. mixes ketamine and MDMA to convince two guys of their bank accounts.

Wedding story
Wedding! Divorced! New York! Los Angeles!

Nicole (Johansson) wants to go to L.A. for a televised role; Charlie wants to stay in New York. Laura Dern, Alan Alda and Ray Liotta play the lawyers. The obvious influences all seem to be present: Kramer vs Kramer, Shoot on the moon, Ingmar Bergman's Character. Baumbach told IndieWire that he had intentionally another layer: "There is a hidden thriller, a procedure, a romantic comedy, a tragic love story. I thought it was a subject that could handle all these things. An inner disaster that I am eager to see. -H.H.
Hope Gap
Annette Bening and Bill Nighy – a moment that suits me the most in my career! In Hope GapDirected by screenwriter and director William Nicholson, Bening and Nighy play a married couple named Grace and Edward, and their son returned home on his birthday. The turning point: Edward has long felt insecure and inadequate and plans to leave Grace. (Leaving Annette Bening is an act of misogynyIf you ask me, I'll answer you that way.) This is Bening's second film at this year's TIFF – she appears as Dianne Feinstein in The report, which debuted at Sundance earlier this year. -H.H.
David Copperfield's personal story
Is it the glorious, bitter In the loop really ten years? Armando Iannucci and co-author Simon Blackwell meet in this adaptation of one of Charles Dickens' most famous novels, David Copperfield.

Doremus wrote this feature with the novelist Jardine Libaire; Matthew Gray Gubler, Lindsay Sloane and Shamier Anderson are also on the bill. Will Terminations, beginnings to be the first Doremus drama to take back the magic of its beginnings, Like crazy? -H.H.
waves
Lucas Hedges and I are both dealing with a Little woman-Size the hole in our calendars in different ways: he plays in the Trey Edward Shults movie waves; I had Doritos for breakfast. the He comes at night and Krisha The director returns with a very musical film (once upon a time, the rumor was that the film would be entirely composed of songs of Kanye) on the family. Sterling K. Brown, Taylor Russell and Kelvin Harrison Jr. stars. By deadline, waves "Traces the epic emotional journey of an Afro-American suburban family – led by a well-intentioned but domineering father – while she navigates in love, forgiveness and meets as a result of A loss. " -H.H.
Dolemite is my name
A rebirth of Eddie Murphy is upon us! In Dolemite is my name, he plays comedian and actor Rudy Ray Moore, who decided to make a film of blaxploitation, Dolemite, in 1975. Hustle & Flow Director Craig Brewer directs Murphy's tour as one of his inspirations: Moore has created the character of Dolemite, a flamboyant pimp who breathes new life into his sleepy career. Moore is ambitious and intelligent, and Murphy's portrait is already subject to murmurs of rewards. Will it be the biopic to win him a late Oscar? -H.H.
Lucy in the sky
First things first: yes, that is The astronaut film on diapers, based in part on the famous astronaut love triangle of 2007. In Lucy in the sky (the film that Reese Witherspoon abandoned to make Big little lies season two – she just produced), Portman starring Claire Foy First man Texas hair and accent to portray Lucy Cola, an obsessed and obsessed astronaut. She is married to Drew (Dan Stevens), has an affair with Mark (Jon Hamm) and is going through a life-threatening crisis as she trains for her next mission. I feel comfortable declaring today, here and now, that we are a nation under the spatial layer of Natalie Portman! -H.H.
Joker
According to the immortal words of DJ Khaled, "another". After learning from the dishonest efforts to create an interconnected Marvel universe, Warner Bros. instead decided to make his DC Comics films stand-alone. attract the best talents put off by the contractual obligations of this decade other universe of superheroes. First: Joaquin Phoenix takes on the role of Jack Nicholson, Heath Ledger and[[[[swallow]Jared Leto. This is an original story apparently inspired by the work of Martin Scorsese. The king of comedy, which portrays the future prince of the crime clown as a possible oppressed comedian pushed to outbidding by an indifferent world. Talk from Venice suggests that the film is outrageous in every sense of the word and that we will probably debate the film's view of violence, masculinity and violent masculinity throughout the season. -Nate Jones
The goldfinch
Literary adaptations do not come much more gilded than that. BrooklynJohn Crowley directs the film version of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel Donna Tartt with a cast of Ansel Elgort, Nicole Kidman, Jeffrey Wright and Strange thingsFinn Wolfhard, Ukrainian teenager living in Las Vegas. With a sprawling conspiracy involving terrorism, grief, addiction and international art stories, the book was considered even by its fans as virtually insoluble. We are eager to know if it's about the next Life of pi or Tulip fever. -NEW JERSEY.
Jojo Rabbit
If you are an independent-minded director who has just won a resounding success at Marvel, how do you spend your new industrial capital? For Thor: RagnarokThe answer was simple: answer by Adolf Hitler, or at least a version of the führer as an imaginary crazy friend of a young boy in 1940s Germany. Based on a book by Christine Leunens, the film follows a a loyal member of the Hitler Youth who is shocked to discover that her mother (Scarlett Johansson, not playing a tree) is sheltering a Jewish girl in her attic. The director of the Kiwi described the film as a satire against war and nationalism, saying: "This film is going to piss off a lot of racists and that makes me very happy." -NEW JERSEY.
A nice day in the neighborhood
Do you know that sometimes you just need a good hard cry? That's it, in film form. The biography of Mr. Rogers, directed by director Marielle Heller, is based on a meeting of the TV legend with journalist Tom Junod in the 90s. Rogers is played by Tom Hanks, who looks nothing like him, but you must admit that their energies are the same. Junod (here called "Lloyd Vogel" and played by Matthew Rhys) said his time with Rogers changed his outlook on life. For those of us who could not meet the guy in person, this movie might be enough. -NEW JERSEY.
Both popes
Netflix sees HBO The new popeand raises him again a pope. The latest film by Brazilian director Fernando Meirelles (City of God) staged the uncomfortable relationship created in the Vatican by the withdrawal of Pope Benedict XVI (Anthony Hopkins), as Spanish conservatives German with his ideological counterpart, the future Pope Francis (Jonathan Pryce). The film is almost entirely composed of a series of imaginary conversations between the two men, and the audience of Telluride is excited by both performances, as well as by Anthony McCarten's witty scenario. McCarten has already written The theory of everything, Darkest hour, and Bohemian Rhapsody, and Both popes Looks like this should fit well into his series of biopics that will please the crowd. -NEW JERSEY.
Knives released
No, it's not a Radiohead biopic. (Even if this happens, give Barry Keoghan the name of Thom Yorke.) Instead, it's Rian Johnson's last effort, which shakes the bad mood Last jedi with a pastiche Agatha Christie starry. Daniel Craig is the Poirot spokesman who is investigating a wealthy family (Chris Evans, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Shannon, Toni Collette, Don Johnson, etc.) for the murder of their patriarch (Christopher Plummer, of course). It's been a while that we have not had a really solid mysterious movie – we will not talk about the latest add-to-CGI release Murder on the Orient Express – and my Gosford Park-The donkey magnet could no longer be excited to discover the polar. -NEW JERSEY.
Parasite
If you missed the Palme d'Or when it came out in Cannes, do not worry, we are too. You're in luck. Bong Joon-ho's delicious satire goes around the fall festival circuit before it's out in the United States in October. . Parasite It's the kind of movie that works best when you know the least, but if you just have to listen to the basics, it follows a very mobile Korean family that slowly winds up in the lives of some crazy poshies. Those who have already seen one of Bong's previous films know how much he takes pleasure in desperately uncontrollable situations and much of the anxious pleasure of this movie just never know exactly when and how the house of cards will collapse. -NEW JERSEY.
