Cannes Film Festival is under fire! Filmmaker Boots Riley just revealed the festival gave the cold shoulder to his acclaimed movies, 'I Love Boosters' and 'Sorry to Bother You.' But wait, there's more! Riley claims Cannes even picked 'The Idol' over his latest, 'I'm a Virgo.' Ouch!
Riley, known for his edgy, thought-provoking work, isn't sweating it, though. He's reportedly chalking it up to Cannes just not digging his style. Meanwhile, Neon, the distributor behind 'I Love Boosters,' is basking in Palme d'Or glory with yet another win, according to Variety. They just snagged their seventh consecutive victory with 'Fjord.'
So while Neon celebrates, Riley's out here spilling the tea on Cannes' questionable curation. Is there a bias against his unique vision? You be the judge!
