Balance sheet as at the Cannes Film Festival – renaissance of beer bellies – Süddeutsche.de

Male movie stars need a six-pack? Wrong! Cannes 2015 was the year of beer bellies in all shapes and sizes. The competition was unfortunately mediocre, the most secret deliver Pharrell Williams and P. Diddy.

French refugee drama “Dheepan” has rightly won the Palme d’Or for best film?

For Cannes ratios of competition 2015 was unfortunately mediocre. Considering that in some other vintages almost absurd run many great movies, stabbed this year none of the 19 posts which competed for the Palme, absolutely out. That the jury to the director brothers Joel and Ethan Coen now the Frenchman Jacques Audiard for his Banlieue drama “Dheepan” distinguished, has something to do with that festival juries award the prize rarely compatriots – even if they might rotate the better film have. In this case, it met the Americans Todd Haynes, whose wonderful Patricia Highsmith adaptation “Carol” with Rooney Mara and Cate Blanchett would have been quite worthy of an award.



“3.5″


Palme d’Or for “Dheepan” This is to Europe be?

Three Sri Lankan refugees fall into a dilapidated Paris suburb in the crossfire of warring gangs. But “Dheepan”, winner of the Golden Palm at Cannes, is not only refugee drama, but also a love story and thriller. Filmkritik

drama awards were distributed fairly?

At least here was the love thriller “Carol” a won success. Rooney Mara (“blindness”, “Side Effects”) was immediately traded to the premiere as a hot candidate for the prize for best actress – and also got him his fault entirely. However, they must share the palm tree with the French woman Emanuelle Bercot, which was also named Best Actress. And for the relationship drama “Mon Roi”, in which she gets involved in an amour fou with Vincent Cassel. Again, the jury has obediently set to proportional representation and political correctness: a bit of Hollywood, a bit of Europe – and finally a bit of social criticism: Best Actor comedian Vincent Lindon was awarded, the pretty serious in unemployment drama “La loi du marché” in a role is to see.

What was the best kept secret?

Definitely the oblique Drugs Comedy “dope” the American Rick Famuyiwa. The film was shown in the inset series “Un certain regard”, where often the wilder cinematic experience than competing can be found. Three high school students slip off to dealer operations, which Famuyiwa staged as wonderful parody and tribute to the genre of teen comedy. Producer:.? Pharrell Williams and P. Diddy (but could be rather write with his real name Sean Combs in the credits)

Who lay down the worst flop

tastes obviously different, which is why it at festivals with a few thousand town journalists is always quite difficult to glean a clear trend over winners and losers. The esoteric suicide drama “The Sea of ​​Trees” by Gus Van Sant, however, was so bad, that at least it could all agree: a total letdown. Matthew McConaughey, Naomi Watts and Ken Watanabe stagger through a more than ambitious, pathetic film in which a lonely man wants to take his own life in a Japanese forest. Violent boos after the press screening.



Who had the biggest beer belly?

Male movie stars need a six-pack? Wrong! Cannes 2015 was the year of beer bellies in all shapes and sizes. Even formerly hard-trained Hollywood actor ate neatly for her roles in bacon. Joaquin Phoenix, for example, the “Man Irrational” plays a washed-university professor in Woody Allen, wobbled quite formidable. Colin Farrell also has increased for the science fiction thriller “The Lobster” – and betrayed in Cannes his fat diet: “For breakfast there was French, two cheeseburgers and two cola Also, I have melted and drank Haägen Dazs ice cream in the microwave.. ” Nevertheless neither Phoenix nor Farrell came up to the belly of bellies: the part which really literally monumental Gérard Depardieu, who played in the drama “Valley of Love” with full Monsterwampen-use

What would rather never know. ?

The industry visitors go on the biggest and most important film festival in the world, of course, not only to the movies, but gossiping also madly about upcoming projects. The major Hollywood journals fill with this Gossip much of their daily appearing Festival editions – for the sole purpose of “Hollywood Reporter” with a crew of 30 employees is flown. The bizarre news that Werner Herzog will be together to make a film with Veronika Ferres, you could but rather attributed to sunstroke in the heat of Cannes.



What are the Cannes visitors were jealous?

Every year one of the main talking points of the festival: the accreditations. Although France is a brazen bulwark of democracy, the filmmakers, journalists and distributors are divided by the color of their accreditations in lower, middle and upper classes. An example: Blue card means infinitely long queue in front of the cinema. White card means: Come on. In addition, is rumored that there is to be a very rare secret accreditation, which is the greatest of the greatest reserved. Legendary producer Harvey Weinstein should have, allegedly even Carla Bruni. Just saw this super card has no one – and what could be done in theory therefore knows none so exactly

What great Cannes movies we can soon see in Germany

While the.? winning film “Dheepan” yet known no German launch date, already you can even look forward to two other highlights from the competition: October 1 starts Paolo Sorrentino’s grotesque “Youth”. Starring Michael Cane and Harvey Keitel, who philosophize in a Swiss luxury spa about old men and young women. Just a little longer we have to wait for the lovely Patricia Highsmith adaptation “Carol”, it starts on 21 January. The reason: the rental is hoped that big Oscar chances and wants the film therefore place just before the Academy Awards
