Cannes: La Palme d'Or goes -NOT- to Caché from Michael Haneke
| Von roger @ 18:57 | [ Moving Image ] |
Update (I):
La Palme d'Or goes to L'enfant by the brothers Dardenne (20:32).
Update (II)
- in french - Sandrine livre la critique illico! (22:42)
According to Sandrine the Palme goes to Caché. In this she shares the same opinion as Nicole Hess, correspondent from Tages-Anzeiger, in today's newspaper. But for all the other fillms they have such different opinions. Where Sandrine likes History of Violence, this film does not even exist for Nicole. On the other hand, Nicole sees the Jarmusch and the film by the Dardenne brothers as other possible Palme d'or's, whereas Sandrine does rather dislike the Jarmusch, together with the new Wenders and Manderlay by Lars von Trier.
I saw this happening before and I always asked myself how is it possible that critics from neighboring countries do have such different views on the films they see.
I goes without saying that I more often share the opininons of my french friends, which is partly explainable by my french cinephile education (88-97). People from Zurich, I guess, are much more oriented towards german and even more american film criticism.
