Summary
Neon has set Oscar-season release dates for two major Cannes titles: James Gray's 'Paper Tiger' (limited Nov. 13, wide Nov. 20) and Cristian Mungiu's Palme D'Or winner 'Fjord' (Oct. 9). 'Paper Tiger' is loosely based on Gray's real-life family encounter with the Russian mafia in 1980s New York, starring Scarlett Johansson, Adam Driver, and Miles Teller. 'Fjord' stars Oscar nominees Sebastian Stan and Renate Reinsve, and its October release date mirrors the successful Oscar campaigns of previous Palme winners 'Parasite' and 'Anora'.
