That is all the large winners at Cannes this 12 months. Congrats to the entire 2023 pageant movies! As for my ideas, effectively, simply the identical as final 12 months – I do not know why they selected Anatomy of a Fall. It isn’t the very best of the fest, it isn’t progressive, it is not likely that outstanding. It is a good movie, that is for certain, however not essentially the most profound one within the competitors. My private decide for the Palme d’Or is La Chimera by Alice Rohrwacher, which actually ought to’ve received one thing anyway. I additionally wished to see Wim Wender’s Excellent Days or The Pot-au-Feu successful different awards, however they nonetheless each received one thing. The remainder of the winners are largely satisfying, which is kind of good to see anyway – not a lot to complain about. I hoped the tremendously proficient German actress Sandra Hüller would win an award – however as a result of they gave the Palme to Anatomy of a Fall, they needed to give Finest Actress to another person in a distinct movie. It as a substitute went to the Turkish actress in Ceylan’s movie, which is nice as a result of About Dry Grasses is beautiful and this could deliver much more consideration to it.
