Financial Tribune- Based on a list released by The Playlist, a film and TV news website, Everybody Knows, the new film by internationally acclaimed Iranian filmmaker, , is ranked 12th among the 100 most anticipated films in the coming year.

The film of the two-time Oscar-winning filmmaker is ranked above many other prominent filmmakers, namely Gary Ross, Steven Spielberg who is one of the most popular directors and producers in film history, David Robert Mitchell, and late American actor and filmmaker Orson Welles.

Orson Wells film The Other Side of the Wind, which is ranked 22nd on the list, is particularly known for its troubled production schedule. The six-year shooting was plagued by difficulties with production, finance and casting, as well as complex legal problems that led to the negative film being impounded and the film was left unfinished for four decades.

In the list, the first eleven places belong to If Beale Street Could Talk by Barry Jenkins, The Irishman by Martin Scorsese, Roma by Alfonso Cuarn, Ad Astra (Latin phrase meaning to the stars) by James Gray, The Favorite by Yorgos Lanthimos, High Life by Claire Denis, Isle Of Dogs by Wes Anderson, Widows by Steve McQueen, Beach Bum by Harmony Korine, Black Panther by Ryan Coogler, and The Sisters Brothers by Jacques Audiard.

Everybody Knows is a family drama that has Penelope Cruz, Ricardo Darin, Eduard Fernandez, Barbara Lennie, Inma Cuesta and Elvira Mnguez, in addition to Spanish actor Javiar Bardem in the cast. Shooting of the film was completed in early December, yet, there is no word on the release date, The Playlist wrote.

Little is known about the films story except that Carolina travels with her family from Buenos Aires, Argentina, to her native village in Spain for a celebration. What was meant to be a short visit is disrupted by unforeseen events that will completely change their lives.

According to Cinetmag.com, Farhadi has been influential in introducing Iranian modern cinema to the world. His previous film The Salesman received two awards - for the best actor Shahab Hosseini and his script at the Cannes Film Festival in 2016.
