Some serious robbery going on right here.
Amen.
palm d’or is even MORE predictable than Tree of Life was last year. Hopefully, like Tree of Life, it is entirely deserving….
This year breaks the two-year run of juries choosing truly out-there films for the Palm…ah well….
Two brilliant choices book-ended by Haneke. A dream wrapped in a nightmare.
Nothing can be as bad as Tree of Life.
nothing at all for Holy Motors…. wow.
Our boy Nanni said something about “some directors caring about their style more than their characters,” which is, I think, telling, and a little gross…
Happy Haneke.
