After seeing the movie “furbacchione” by Laurent Cantet, we said: maybe an outsider wins? too many big films and big names, too many reasons to argue in that group of nine jurors, all with a character and taste well-defined and not simple. And Entre les murs seemed suitable to bring peace and agreement among all. The Palme d’Or is returned to France after 31 years, when it was Pialat to take the Croisette with Under the Sun of Satan. Sergio Castellitto, after “explained” to colleagues the complexity and particularity (especially negative, unfortunately) of our democracy in order to better understand the works of Garrone and Sorrentino in the competition, said that Cantet has made a film “generous, to show children “, while the writer Marjane Satrapi described him as” a hit to the heart that talking about school tackles the issues founding of modern democracies. ” And again the president of Sean Penn jury described him as “magical, provocative and well written, cinematic beautiful, and it was what we wanted,” and also universal, if it’s true that the Thai Apichapong said that “it seemed to me to stay in school of my country.
” But the real winner is Italy, great session, although this time to “penalties” won France. A Gomorra and The divo went the Grand Prix and the prize jury, in fact the second and third prize, a triumph. “Gomorra is a film that will remain in the years-says the chairman, The divo is part of a cinema bold, courageous, different and that is power and political acumen and humor.” Just Sean confessed that loves The consequences of love.
“One thing that kind of by the person who made Into the wild-said Paolo Sorrentino excited-the premium is worth more today.” Petri and Rosi, 36 years ago (with the working class goes to heaven and The case Mattei) won a resounding victory ex aequo, sharing the same actor, the immense Gian Maria Volontè. Now happens (almost) the same, and in the middle of these two beautiful (almost) forty’s Toni Servillo. “I’m lucky-they said it.
” Seriously, are two exceptional directors who have the courage to speak to a different language. ” And so the classics were relegated to the margins. Only premiums for the career to Catherine Deneuve and Clint Eastwood (he deserved more, The échange is a masterpiece), best screenplay for the Dardenne brothers and their Le silence de Lorna. The commander Che Guevara, with four hours and a half of guerrilla Soderbergh, after conquering Cuba also Cannes: the enormous effort Benicio Del Toro was recognized and he went the prize as best actor.
Among the actresses surprising but deserved affirmation of Sandra Corveloni, mother painful and powerful family drama and football Linha de Passe by Walter Salles. The director has the prerogative, granted, Nuri Bilge Ceylan and his Uc Maymun: an exercise in style rather than a film. Quite the opposite of Hunger, Camera d’or (best debut) caught in the “Certain Regard”. Or imprisonment and the death of Bobby Sands, Northern Irish militant irredentista, as none had ever told: with rigor implacable. A nice festival, without doubt, with an Italy vibrant and vital that brings into the spotlight the best young directors that has the most talented and courageous. Their neo (sur) snobbish-pop realism, between neomelodici Neapolitans, Nino D’Angelo and Renato Zero (soundtrack), is a set of perfectly amalgamated new ethics and new epic, among Petri and Rossellini. Incrociamo your fingers and give them the freedom that have had their fathers and masters. What can also make mistakes, and then that will become so large it went in History.
