Euro Beat: Cannes Awards and Reactions, Plus a New Tomas Alfredson Project
20 hours ago | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »
Cannes is wrapped and the awards have been given out, complete with (mostly) polite reactions from both the winning filmmakers and jury. The biggest surprise was probably Carlos Reygadas' directing award for Post Tenebras Lux, a film which mostly provoked confusion and sometimes anger from critics. Sadly, the film screened after I left, so I can't join in the punditry, but I did love juror Andrea Arnold's (Fish Tank, Red Road) defense of the film. Quoth Arnold: ""Personally I loved it. It was very brave and very tender. It dared to fail."I also support this award (for now) because Reygadas had by far the best reaction to his win, saying "I thank the journalists who hated the film and those who loved it, who didn't »

While in the press room after the Cannes Film Festival awards ceremony, Official Competition jury president Nanni Moretti (photo) recognized Emmanuelle Riva’s and Jean-Louis Trintignant’s contributions to Michael Haneke’s Palme d’Or winner Amour / Love. Moretti explained that whichever movie gets the Palme d’Or cannot receive any other award. As a result, neither Riva nor Trintignant could have won as Best Actress / Best Actor. [List of Cannes 2012 winners; Amour, Reality, Cristian Mungiu: Cannes Winners; Mads Mikkelsen, Carlos Reygadas: Cannes Winners.] The information above comes from Accréds’ Twitter account. Another tweet remarked on jury member Andrea Arnold’s admiration for Best Director Carlos Reygadas’ controversial Post Tenebras Lux, which was loudly booed at its press screening. Both Arnold and fellow jury member Raoul Peck were likely ardent supporters of the (for some) surprising Best Director choice. Back to Nanni Moretti: the Italian filmmaker told the assembled journalists that he is "not against glamour, but it must be found in movies that please me. »

The Cannes Film Festival is over for another year with the announcement of Michael Haneke’s well-received "Amour" taking home the fest's top honor - the Palme d’Or.
More controversial were some of the other supporting choices such as Matteo Garrone's "Reality" winning the Grand Prix (essentially the runner-up) while Carlos Reygadas scoring Best Director for "Post Tenebras Lux". Both films were not well received by critics at the fest, 'Reality' in particular drawing some outright jeers.
Also winning were Cristina Flutur and Cosmina Stratan who shared the Best Actress for their work in "Beyond The Hills" which also took Best Screenplay for Cristian Mungiu. Mads Mikkelsen won Best Actor for "The Hunt", Sundance winner "Beasts of the Southern Wild" won Caméra d’Or (Best First Film), while Ken Loach's "The Angels Share" took a Jury Prize.

Cannes In Love With Amour, Winner Of Palme D’Or (Updated)
28 May 2012 8:18 AM, PDT | Studio Briefing - Film News | See recent Studio Briefing - Film News news »
Michael Haneke’s Amour has won the top prize, the Palme d’Or, at the 65th annual Cannes Film Festival. The movie, about an elderly woman, played by Emmanuelle Riva, who suffers a series of strokes, and the husband, played by Jean-Louis Trintignant, who lovingly cares for her, was a favorite of critics from the moment it was shown. Since festival rules do not permit any film that wins one of the top three honors, Palme d’Or, Grand Prix or the Jury Prize to receive any additional honors, Haneke was ineligible to receive the award for best director. That went to Mexico’s Carlos Reygadas for the controversial Post Tenebras Lux. Nor could Riva or Trintignant take the acting awards, even though many critics enthusiastically praised their performances. Those went to Denmark’s Mads Mikkelson for The Hunt and Romania’s Cristina Flutur and Cosmina Stratan who co-starred in Beyond the Hills.
The top prizes:Palme d’Or: Amour (Austria) by Michael Haneke; Grand Prix (Second Place): Reality (Italy) by Matteo Garrone; Jury Prize (Third Place): The Angels’ Share (Britain) by Ken Loach; Best Director: Carlos Reygadas, Post Tenebras Lux (Mexico); Best Screenplay: Beyond the Hills (Rumania), Cristian Mungiu; Best Actress: Cosmina Stratan and Cristina Flutur, Beyond the Hills; Best Actor: Mads Mikkelsen, The Hunt.

“Amour,” “Beasts Of The Southern Wild” Win At The Cannes Film Festival
28 May 2012 8:08 AM, PDT | Filmmaker Magazine - Blog | See recent Filmmaker Magazine news »
Michael Haneke picked up his second Palme d’Or in a row today when the Cannes jury awarded the Austrian director the festival’s top prize for Amour (pictured), his tale of an elderly couple dealing with the wife’s catastrophic health issues. The award was surprising only in its lack of surprise — while the preceding prizes had been unanticipated choices, Amour, to be released later this Fall by Sony Pictures Classics, was easily the consensus pick of critics and Competition viewers. In other awards, the Camera d’Or for Best First Film went to American independent Benh Zeitlin for his Beasts of the Southern Wild. (Selected for our 2008 25 New Faces list, he’s our first such selection to win the Camera d’Or.) Relative surprises were the directing prize to Carlos Reygadas for his perplexing and personal experimental left-turn, Post Tenebras Lux, and the Grand Prix (Runner-Up) to Matteo Garrone for Reality, »

With ‘Love,’ Michael Haneke Becomes 7th Director to Win Palme d’Or Twice
28 May 2012 7:00 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
As we all know, “Palme d’Or” is French for Feather Button Hand of Gold Achievement. Or something. Google Translate wasn’t loading this morning. Regardless, it’s as prestigious as awards get, although it hilariously almost never lines up with the Oscars (for good reason). Past winners include Barton Fink, Taxi Driver, Mash, The Third Man, Black Orpheus, La Dolce Vita, The Wind That Shakes the Barley and nearly one hundred other films that should be on a rental queue somewhere. That list also includes Michael Haneke‘s The White Ribbon which took the price in 2009 and, as of yesterday, his latest film Love (Amour). That’s 2 wins for the director in 4 competition years. It ties him for Most Palmes d’Or Ever (no director has won more than two), where he joins Alf Sjoberg (Iris and the Lieutenant, Miss Julie); Francis Ford Coppola (The Conversation, Apocalypse Now); Bille August (Pelle the Conqueror, The Best Intentions »

Cannes 2012 roundup: why the jury's Amour for Haneke was an anti-climax
28 May 2012 4:03 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Michael Haneke's moving story deserved the Palme d'Or, yet a vote for Leos Carax's kaleidoscopically weird Holy Motors would have stopped this from being a faintly unsatisfying festival
The Palme d'Or at this year's Cannes film festival for Amour, by Michael Haneke, makes him now a double-winner, having won the Palme for his proto-Nazi parable The White Ribbon in 2009. Amour is the almost unbearably moving story of an old man caring for his dying wife at home until her final hour. It's an excellent choice. An impeccable choice. Actually, the only possible choice. For me, Amour was the best film in this year's competition, no question about it: a glorious demonstration of pure artistic intelligence, uncompromisingly exacting and demanding.
And yet … and yet … this is somehow also a slightly anti-climactic ending to a faintly unsatisfying festival. Now, it is highly obtuse and ungracious to find fault in the »

Cannes 2012: Michael Haneke wins second Palme d'Or for Amour
28 May 2012 1:19 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Austrian director wins Cannes top prize for second time in three years for tender portrait of ailing elderly couple
Michael Haneke's latest movie, Amour, won the Austrian director his second top prize from Cannes in three years, following his triumph in 2009 with The White Ribbon. The film is the tenderest in a career defined by unflinching brutality, as well as arguably the least cinematic: a two-hander set in a Paris flat. Haneke joined just five others to have won the Palme d'Or twice, including Francis Ford Coppola and Emir Kusturica.
Amour, which stars Jean-Louis Trintignant and Emmanuelle Riva as an elderly couple struggling to cope after one of them suffers a series of strokes, won universal praise on its premiere at the 65th annual festival last week, and its win was widely thought to be something of a certainty. But elsewhere there were shocks galore from Nanni Moretti's jury, »

Cannes 2012 jury confirms its love for Haneke's Amour with Palme d'Or
28 May 2012 1:17 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Even though the favourite took the top prize, this year's festival held some surprises - among them the Jury Prize for Ken Loach
The 65th Cannes film festival drew to a close with the director Michael Haneke being awarded the Palme d'Or for Amour.
His victory was greeted with acclaim but an understandable lack of surprise: Amour had been hotly tipped ever since it unspooled on the fifth day of the festival.
The jury, presided over by former Palme d'Or winner Nanni Moretti, gave the chief award to Haneke, saying the jury was not unanimous on any of the awards, but that many of the contending films were "more in love with their style than their characters"; this, presumably, was where Haneke differed.
Amour, which stars French veterans Jean-Louis Trintignant and Emmanuelle Riva as well as Isabelle Huppert, describes the relationship between an elderly married couple when one of them is incapacitated by a stroke. »

Cannes 2012: Amour's love is justified, but why cold-shoulder Cosmopolis?
28 May 2012 12:54 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
From the weather to the winner, an ominous chill was in the air at Cannes this year. Yet some of the jury's decisions suggest they may have been suffering from heat stroke
The 65th Cannes film festival dawned bright and sunny and then quickly went to hell in a handcart. The wind whipped up, the clouds hoved in and it proceeded to rain for three days straight. It was at this point that Michael Haneke arrived. He could hardly have timed his entrance better.
Amour – which screened on the middle Sunday, the rainiest of all – was not just the stand-out film in this year's Cannes competition. It also became emblematic of the festival as a whole; a warning of incoming cold-snaps and imminent storms; a reminder to shutter your windows and hold on to your loved ones.
Haneke's film tells the tale of Georges (Jean-Louis Trintignant) and Anne (Emmanuelle Riva »

Palme d’Or at Cannes 2012 goes to Michael Haneke’s Amour
27 May 2012 10:44 PM, PDT | DearCinema.com | See recent DearCinema.com news »
The Palme d’Or, the top award at 65th Cannes Film Festival was awarded to Love (Amour) by Michael Haneke. The film tells the story of two retired music teachers in their eighties and their bond of love.
The film is a co-production between France, Germany and Austria.
Michael Haneke said: “I am very happy to be with my actors on this stage, it makes me less shy. I would like to thank the entire Jury and Thierry Fremaux, who gave me the opportunity to present this film here. Thanks to everyone who helped me make this film. Thank you to my wife, who has been supporting me for many years. This film is in part an illustration of the promise that we made to each other. A big thank you to my two actors. They are the essence of this film.”

Michael Haneke’s Amour Wins Cannes’s Palme d'Or
27 May 2012 10:09 PM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
The Cannes Film Festival jury has picked its winners, and as many had predicted (including Vulture), Michael Haneke won the Palme d'Or for his quietly devastating Amour. The closest thing to a consensus pick in a divisive Cannes lineup, it gives Haneke his second Palme in a row after winning for 2009’s The White Ribbon. Other notable winners include Beyond the Hills, which won Best Screenplay and Best Actress (split amongst its two female leads), Mads Mikkelsen for Best Actor in The Hunt, and Carlos Reygadas, who won Best Director for his polarizing Post Tenebras Lux. (Many thought Leos Carax might take that prize for the equally surreal Holy Motors.) Sundance barnstormer Beasts of the Southern Wild continued to clean up, too, here winning the Camera d'Or for best first film. »

Post Tenebras Lux, Holy Motors: Most Divisive
27 May 2012 9:06 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Carlos Reygadas‘ Post Tenebras Lux How did Mads Mikkelsen know he had a chance of winning the Best Actor Award at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival? In fact, how did Mikkelsen most likely know he had won the Best Actor Award? Simple: the day before, festival organizers asked him to represent Thomas Vinterberg’s The Hunt at the awards ceremony. Of course, that makes one wonder. Since movies in the Official Competition were screened the day before the awards ceremony, how long does it take the jury to deliberate and decide who’ll win what? [List of Cannes 2012 winners; Amour, Reality, Cristian Mungiu: Cannes Winners; Mads Mikkelsen, Carlos Reygadas: Cannes Winners.] The Mads Mikkelsen info comes courtesy of Accréds’ Twitter account, which also offers several curious tidbits from the press room at the Cannes awards ceremony. Carlos Reygadas’ Objective: Self-Expression For instance, Best Director winner Carlos Reygadas (for Post Tenebras Lux) told the press that he had "watched Ulrich Seidl’s film, which I liked a lot. »

Cannes 2012 Winners: Michael Haneke Wins His Second Palme d’Or for Amour
27 May 2012 8:05 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Another Cannes, another win for Michael Haneke. Haneke won the Grand Jury Prize in for The Piano Teacher in 2001, Best Director for Caché in 2005, and the festival's top honor, the Palme d'Or, for The White Ribbon in 2009. With no brass ring left, Haneke settled for another Palme D'Or at this year's fest for his typically harrowing tale of elderly marriage, Amour (aka Love). Haneke is now the eighth director to win Best Film twice*, joining the likes of Francis Ford Coppola and the Daredenne brothers. Beyond the Hills was the only film to win multiple awards, earning both Best Screenplay (by writer/director Cristian Mungiu) and a tie for Best Actress between co-stars Cosmina Stratan and Cristina Flutur. The only winner I can guarantee we Americans will be able to see anytime soon is Beasts of the Southern Wild, which is set for release on June 27 after writer/director Benh Zeitlin »
