Given this is the first Cannes in the COVID pandemic era, there are as many questions about the event’s safety protocols as there are about the lineup. Cannes general delegate Thierry Frémaux told IndieWire’s Eric Kohn this week that screenings will operate at 100 percent capacity, but masks will be required for all moviegoers. “Vaccination is not mandatory, but testing is,” Frémaux added. “Spectators can choose to present either a vaccination certificate or a negative test....

On the film side, the nominees were actually quite different from what you’ll see at the Oscars next week. In the Original Screenplay category, “Licorice Pizza,” “Don’t Look Up,” and “King Richard” were still nominated, but “Belfast” and “The Worst Person in the World” were replaced with “Being the Ricardos.” The Adapted Screenplay category was even more distinct, with only two Oscar contenders (“Dune” and “CODA”) nominated. But it ultimately did not matter, as two Oscar nominees took the top prizes....

A harrowing Brazilian hostage thriller wrapped inside a mercilessly harsh coming-of-age story, the second feature by filmmaker Alexandre Moratto (“Socrates”) hinges on the moral dilemma that confronts a poor 18-year-old farm worker after he trades the outskirts of Catanduva for the big city of São Paulo in order to send money back to his ailing mom. The kid’s name is Mateus (“Socrates” lead Christian Malheiros), and he’s a rock-solid human who would do anything to support his family....

Presented as a Fathom Event in partnership with Turner Classic Movies and Paramount (the latter has theatrical rights), it grossed $578,703 in 960 theaters. That put it No. 6 among all films for the day. And with $734,571 grossed on Sunday and an additional $60,015 on Monday and Tuesday in fewer theaters, its full week gross — playing only five days, and only two with 960 theaters — will, at around $1....

In February 1970 Green Beret doctor Jeffrey MacDonald’s pregnant wife and two daughters were found brutally murdered in their home. MacDonald claimed that a gang of hippies, led by a blonde woman in a floppy hat, entered his house and killed everyone. It made sense right away, particularly as the Manson family killings took place just six months before. But as “A Wilderness of Error,” produced by Blumhouse television and airing on FX, asserts, that is just where the story begins....

“As you stood on the Oscars stage in 1973 to not accept the Oscar on behalf of Marlon Brando, in recognition of the misrepresentation and mistreatment of Native American people by the film industry, you made a powerful statement that continues to remind us of the necessity of respect and the importance of human dignity,” a letter signed by former Academy President David Rubin stated, as addressed June 18. Littlefeather will also be the guest of honor at “an evening of healing and Indigenous celebration” hosted by the Academy Museum in Los Angeles on September 17....
