Cannes Film Festival: Palme d’Or goes to social drama of Ken Loach – THE WORLD

The longer the had considered – and had been for over a week – the less you could possibly imagine that the highest art film award Kinowelt at a comedy from Germany would go so well, “Toni Erdmann” was. In the end it came not so, and maybe that will completely empty outgoing, team Maren Ade can console themselves that the jury George Miller ( “Mad Max”) has taken some of the strangest decisions that distinguish it from the 69 years Cannes was.

No one had something about it that the Palme d’Or for the second time (after “the Wind that shakes the Barley” ten years ago) to Ken Loach went; his social drama “I, Daniel Blake” is a film in the best tradition Loach: honest, committed, even touching at the end to tears. However, it is once again an example that Cannes often not licensing his palms at the best, but on the second or third best films of a director.



Controversial decisions are as a rule

Rarely should a film won the Grand Prix, which was so universally despised by all those with whom one spoke in Cannes, when Xavier Dolan’s “Juste la fin du monde “. Peppered with Stars (Nathalie Baye, Vincent Cassell, Marion Cotillard, Léa Seydoux), he tells of a gay man who returns home to a family reunion in order to open the ones that he is dying. The general impression was that Dolan did not have grip on his cast, especially Cassel not who kidnaps the entire film with his loud negativity.

Rare should have gone to a movie, a director’s prize in Cannes, the abbekam so many boos, both in the press screenings and in the published opinion: Olivier Assayas’ “Personal Shopper”. In the series of their – at the least to say – controversial decisions and the Jury Prize to “American Honey” by the British Andrea Arnold, a group of young women and men who pass through the handle column America belongs. It was a hugely divisive film that had an over nearly three hours monotone Aufputschmusik and never clearly expectant characters almost angry that others had seen the portrait of a generation.

One of the biggest surprises was the actresses Prize for Jaclyn Jose from the Philippines. The 52-year-old is a veteran of film and television in their home, and as the title character in “Ma ‘Rosa’ needs they try to save themselves and their families after the police have them arrested for drug stores. It is a relatively passive idea and possibly the price went more to Brillante Mendoza’s movie as a whole because of its presentation

alternatives for women there would have been enough.

Elle Fanning (18), the Sleeping Beauty of “Maleficent”, loses in Anders Winding Refn’s “the Neon Demon” very fast innocence, she brought with her from the country to Los Angeles. Fanning is perfect as the About Beautiful, as the model that leaves all other models are on the edge, a timeless phenomenon which may originate from the silent film era or commercials of the sponsors who have the festival under control.

Sasha Lane , a 19-year-old sports student from Texas, answered an ad, have been sought in the people who “wild, slim fit, fearless and adventures ready “; Acting experience is not necessary. That’s pretty much her role in Andrea Arnold’s “American Honey” where it joins from boredom on her white trash living a handle column with Shia LaBeouf (according to latest gossip messages they should be LaBeouf’s current girlfriend also real).

Ruth Negga (33), of the Ethiopian-Irish parents descended, was the center of Jeff Nichols “Loving”, where a multiracial has pair in the American South State Virginia to fight for almost a decade, until the Supreme Court confirms its right to live together as a family

-. Adele Haenel (27), according Binoche, Cotillard and Seydoux again a new, fascinating face in French cinema, lying as family doctor in “La Fille Inconnue” by the brothers Dardenne an amazing balancing act between professional objectivity and personal sensibility ,



Iranian Shahab Hosseini honored as best actor

Best Actor was the Iranians Shahab Hosseini (42) from ” Forushande “, the new film of the Berlinale and Oscar winner Asghar Farhadi (” Nader and Simin “), which also received the screenplay prize. Hosseini plays of this seemingly progressive middle-class men, but whose liberality comes to an end when it comes to a – is libel to his wife

The selection of strong male roles was not as great. One would still have thought Adam Driver (32), directing cruel and capricious than Kylo Ren in “Star Wars”, a small miracle of humility and restraint in Jim Jarmusch’s “Paterson”, a sealing driver, perfectly happy in his life from, write and worship his beautiful wife.

Or Adrian Titieni (52), stocky in the West hardly known Romanian character Star, assail the in “Bacalaureat” from all sides life-threatening hazards, and its FIG hardly can zoom something about him.
