The bit about the film screening out of competition at Cannes does sound believable though; outside of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood I can't recall any other big-budget/Hollywood films that were in competition at Cannes.
Shrek and Shrek 2. More along the lines of Flower Moon, while not big-budget, major studio films like L.A. Confidential, Zodiac, Changeling and Moulin Rouge played in competition. It happened more often in the '70s. Apocalypse Now must be the last truly mammoth Hollywood thing to have done it.

With decent grosses from the re-releases of Avatar 1 (back in September) & potentially Titanic (this February), what next old blockbuster movie from the past, do you wish would get a special re-release in theaters?
True Lies

Don’t miss ‘To Leslie’ a small film with a giant heart. Andrea Riseborough gives the performance of the year, and Allison Janney, Marc Maron, Owen Teague, Andre Royo and Stephen Root are all incredible. Please go find this gem!

I could see RRR or All Quiet win over it. Both seem very much adored, especially RRR.
India didn't submit RRR so it's not contending there

Gotta get Elordi out of this before he sabotages his chances at Supes!
Have you considered that maybe he wants to do normal shit like this with real directors instead

I know I am very blase about casually saying that most of them are the same samurai film just remixed slightly, but a part of me does suspect that Kurosawa is a bit like you Kubrick, Tarantino, Hitchcock and such in that they have a way of doing things that means that if you love one film, there is a good shot that you will love everything.
This isn't even a Kurosawa movie.

How much it hurts to be a writer, to find no inspiration at your worst times, and dealing with people who just don’t understand you. And better yet, a world that doesn’t care for high culture and will take people’s hard work and appropriate it into something basic and digestible for the masses in order to make profits. Art vs. commerce was something that hit hard in 1991 and it certainly hits hard today.
Curious you focus on that given that the movie is a lot more ambivalent and ironic I feel. The Hollywood people may be unscrupulous capitalists but at least e.g. Shalhoub's character is honest about it where Barton is arrogant and delusional, never caring to listen to the "common man" he's supposedly the voice of - he doesn't back up his High Culture cred with any actual substance (that we get to see, IIRC), so how much is it worth in his case really? He's not a totally unsympathetic character but he definitely gets taken down a peg, and he has it coming.
