Cannes Awards

There's a series of steps near the Palais which have incribed upon them the past Palme d'Or winners. They going to have to use a smaller font to get the 2010 winner to fit as the Palme was awarded to Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives by Apichatpong Weerasethaku. The film hadn't premiered by the time that most people had left mid-week and didn't have the kind of nudge-nudge buzz from insiders that indicates that it's a work of quality that has to be sought out. I had seen a trailer for it and must admit was captivated by the excerpted visuals. The Cannes jury, however, led by Tim Burton, chose the Thai production as the best of the fest.
