+16 Internets | Cannes Film Festival winners Just a fast post about the Cannes winners: Golden Camera (best first movie) went to a romanian movie called 12:08pm, East of Bucarest by Corneliu Porumboiu. Jury's Price went to Red Road by Andrea Arnold (who won the AA for her short Wasp). Best Female Performance went to the whole cast of Pedro Almodóvar's Volver (which includes Pénelope Cruz). Best Male Performance went to the whole cast of Rachid Bouchareb's Indigènes, a movie following african troops fighting for France during the first world war. Best Director went to Alejandro González Iñárritu, of Amores Perros and 21 Grams fame, for Babel, a movie filmed in 3 continents and with an impressive all star cast. Best Writter went to Pedro Almodóvar for Volver (I have not seen it yet, but it feels to me this would have been a good price for the brilliant Il Caimano by Nani Moretti that ended empty-handed). The Great Price went to Flandres by Bruno Dummont who allready won this price for L'Humanité. Flandres is described as an almost metaphysic parabola on the absurdity of war, following a man sent to fight in an ununderstandable war. The Golden Palm, the highest award, went to Ken Loach for The Wind That Shakes The Barley a powerful film following decades of the fight of Ireland for independance and unity through the story of two brothers. |
