Pablo Larraín is having a good Toronto festival.
Not only has his first English-language film “Jackie,” starring Natalie Portman, been acquired by Fox Searchlight for December release at the height of Oscar season, but Chile has chosen his “Neruda” as its Oscar submission.
Larrain’s film “No,” also starring Gael García Bernal (“Mozart in the Jungle”), was nominated for the foreign language Oscar in 2013. Written by Guillermo Calderón, “Neruda” is a poetic, literary cat-and-mouse story set in 1948, when fugitive Communist politician and popular poet Pablo Neruda (Luis Gnecco) is in hiding with his wife, painter Delia del Carril (Mercedes Morán), moving from location to location with Police Prefect Oscar Peluchonneau (García Bernal) hot on his trail. Neruda is creatively inspired during this period and plays mind games with is his implacable nemesis.

The Cannes Film Festival doesn’t much care what the American public likes. Hollywood entries at Cannes 2016, which included recent releases “Money Monster and “The Nice Guys,” played out of competition. And most of the award winners won’t register at the North American box office, no matter how much the critics adore them.
However, there was another set of movies at Cannes. While largely ignored by the jury, these titles have serious aspirations to make a mark at the arthouse this year — and at the Oscars next year. They’re the Cannes films you’re most likely to see.
Here’s our ranking of the movies with distributors that most likely to reach a sizable North American audience this fall.
1. “Loving” Director: Jeff Nichols Distributor: Focus Features
Stars: Joel Edgerton and Ruth Negga Release date: November 4, 2016 Cannes section: Competition Reviews: Metascore: 71 Critics’ take: Some reviewers admired this sincere biopic,...
