]]>Based on Percival Everett’s novel Erasure, American Fiction centers on Thelonious “Monk” Ellison, an author and English literature professor who’s frustrated by the stereotypical representation of Black people in modern literature. He decides to write a satirical book embracing all the old tropes and clichés—only to watch it become an overnight bestseller.
In addition to Jeffrey Wright, this movie stars Tracee Ellis Ross, Erika Alexander, Leslie Uggams, Sterling K. Brown, Myra Lucretia Taylor, John Ortiz, Issa Rae, and Adam Brody. It was written and directed by Cord Jefferson, who made his feature directorial debut with this project.
People’s Choice Award is voted by the Toronto International Film Festival audience, and many of the previous winners found great success, either winning or getting nominated for best picture at the Academy Awards. The list of recent recipients includes The Fabelmans, Belfast, Nomadland, and Jojo Rabbit.
The 2023 Toronto International Film Festival took place between September 7-17, and Alexander Payne’s The Holdovers and Hayao Miyazaki’s The Boy and the Heron were the first and second runners-up for the People’s Choice Award this year.

]]>The official synopsis still hasn’t seen the light of day, but The French Dispatch has been described as “a love letter to journalists set at an outpost of an American newspaper in 20th century Paris.” According to the sources close to Anderson, it will take place in the 1950s and center on three different storylines.
The cast of The French Dispatch was pretty impressive long before Chalamet and Swinton joined. It also stars Anderson’s regulars Frances McDormand and Bill Murray, plus newcomers to his world – Benicio Del Toro and Jeffrey Wright. It’s been reported Natalie Portman, Brad Pitt, and Léa Seydoux might be joining the cast, but those are just rumors at this stage.
This period piece will be Anderson’s first live-action film since The Grand Budapest Hotel, which won four Oscars and received a Best Picture nod.
