In this dispatch from the Telluride Film Festival, Andrea Arnold on a farm, Celiné Sciamma in the woods, and Paul Schrader at the poker table.

A dispatch from Saturday at Telluride featuring films from three master directors, each of whose primary action is catalyzed by a challenging marriage.

The Telluride film festival returned yesterday, and aside from uploading proof of vaccination, providing a recent negative Covid-19 test result, and wearing masks inside, the biggest difference from recent years was that it started a day early (yay, more film!) and was marked by a series of drizzles and downpours. Every store in town was out of umbrellas and covered outdoor seating was at a premium.
