Sean Baker’s Anora Is Scheduled to Hit Theaters This Fall
Neon is planning a prime awards-season release for its fifth consecutive Palme d’Or winner.
He did the same when, five years ago, writer-director Bong Joon Ho’s Parasite — which Neon had acquired for North American distribution in 2018, prior to Cannes — scored an upset victory over Quentin Tarantino’s film. Ergo, the chief executive did not personally witness this year’s Palme win by writer-director Sean Bake r’s Anora: yet another film Neon produced and scheduled for North American distribution long before it reached Cannes. Beyond its awards prospects, Quinn sees the movie in a continuum of American independent cinema that gained traction at Cannes before finding mainstream appeal in theaters: David Lynch’s Wild at Heart, Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction, and Steven Soderbergh’s Sex, Lies, and Videotape all won the Palme d’Or before going on to register robust box-office returns.
