It's got barely any dialogue - and what dialogue there is is mostly in an Aboriginal language - plus it's a <I>tough</I> film without any obvious marketable points (no big well-known actress or anything like that), not is it as mainstream (in a narrative sense) as, say, <I>Rabbit-Proof Fence</I>.<br /><br />There are so many titles that haven't been able to really get out of the art house ghetto including Palme d'Or winners so I don't see what five-star raves could change in this case.<br /><br />Nevertheless, it's nice to see it doing so well in its home country since audiences here all but turned their back of Aussie films last year that weren't <I>Australia</I> or <I>The Black Balloon</I> (Toni Collette). <br /><br />It would be nice to see it get a release in the US though, just so those who really care about WORLD cinema get the chance to see it (those who know the world isn't US, UK and France... and occasionally Spain or Italy).Glennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08194113062830373898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-88873903304633607512009-05-26T01:06:16.988-04:002009-05-26T01:06:16.988-04:00yes it's basically like runner up and next runner ...yes it's basically like runner up and next runner up :)NATHANIEL Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11597109147678235399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-32608327252407135692009-05-25T23:35:06.698-04:002009-05-25T23:35:06.698-04:00What's the difference between the Grand Prix and t...What's the difference between the Grand Prix and the Jury Prize?

Warwick Thornton's film is incredibly excellent and I'm stoked it took Camera d'Or (first time an Australian has taken it since <I>Love Serenade</I> in 1996).

I guess Penelope won't be up for the lead awards as soon as I thought. I'm still painfully excited for the film, but I worry it must not be of "Volver" caliber. Then again, adverse reactions at Cannes have still left me stunned in the past - like "Marie Antoinette."Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13583618094892337900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-29098920653832792042009-05-24T20:02:49.982-04:002009-05-24T20:02:49.982-04:00way to go for Lars von Trierway to go for Lars von TrierWayne B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-52788243405687870072009-05-24T18:35:47.913-04:002009-05-24T18:35:47.913-04:00Ive just returned from Cannes and Im in the fabulo...Ive just returned from Cannes and Im in the fabulous paris, bragging? yeahh<br />im very fortunate to have attended hanekes premiere. having seen the movie, he totally deserves the palme.

The Antichrist win for Charlotte Gainsbourg does not surprise me. The general reaction to the film has been much different than the critical bashing. My tendency is to think that people want to believe the film is more important that it is, but I have heard a lot of favorable assessments. I am mostly annoyed that the win came at the expense of recognition for Giovanna Mezzogiorno in Vincere. <br /><br /><br />I am so excited for everyone to see Christoph Waltz in Basterds. He completely blows the rest of the (very admirable) cast away.rosengjehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06346399198525494946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-56284620372559936402009-05-24T17:11:29.469-04:002009-05-24T17:11:29.469-04:00How I wish all the Cannes films would just open, s...How I wish all the Cannes films would just open, simultaneously and globally, this weekend.
