if i won best director / palm d'or at Cannes.

 

i'd die a pretty happy man.

 

Been to Cannes a couple of times to the festival full of cunts and producers trying to get seed money. Nothing special these days.

 

 

Venice is where it's at.

 

 

Not the Berlinale? Where's your loyalty?

 

Though by all accounts it was shite this year.

Having said that they have been supportive of the likes of Mike Leigh.

That's a pretentious post, even by your standards mate

yeah but it'd be sweet if my film was at Cannes.

 

as much as people may knock it, Cannes is still the interntional film festival.

Just thought of it now HF but I meant to mention to you that you should check out the work of Julio Medem as, given you love Almodovar (sp?) I think you'd really like his stuff. 'Lovers of the Arctic Circle' and 'Sex and Lucia' are my favs.

Don't get me wrong I like Cannes and things can happen there. There is still a good core philosophy of protecting and encouraging good work, but it is a tad over commercialised now.

 

In the context of Lynch Cannes is immaterial they either love or hate his projects, but he is a great artist and beyond all that now. It was a shame back in the day that the De Laurentis production of Dune kinda destroyed him for the commercial markets.

the thing is. whilst the festival itself maybe over commercialised, the work presented there every year hasn't lost it's power or importance over the years. it's just everything around it has.

Yes.

 

If you want to make films you shouldn't really give a tinkers cuss about festival juries.

 

**Anyway they gave him best director (shared) for Mulholland Drive. 2001.

 

If I was Lynch I'd move to Paris. They really appreciate him as do Berlin.

Parky's slating the corporate side of Cannes but I bet he was off his face on some yacth the whole time he was there.

Edit: 'yacht'. I can never fucking spell that word.

I wouldn't know. Pinching bottles of wine out of the Flybe exec lounge is as posh as it gets for me.

Debateable.

 

I don't think the point of the palme d'or is "this is the best film". I think it's rewarding the advancement of film as an art. Having got through the 80's, Pulp fiction was a suggestion that the US could get back on track, wheras Kieslowski had already won a few prizes there in recent years.

 

It's been similar recently with Romania cleaning up with not necessarily the "best" film each year, it just gives an audience to a region that deserves it having perhaps been ignored and encourages the seeds of a new wave to grow.

Das Experiment.

 

German film based on true events; the experiment with prisoners and prison guards that gets out of control as the guards abuse their power. Some quite powerful scenes of the prisoners humiliated and tormented, quite hard viewing for me at times but a brilliant film nonetheless.
