But it’s not hard to see why this 3-hour coming-of-age tale spends almost its full time focussed on this one relationship leading to one of the rawest romances in cinema, and one of the best. See you then.With raw direction, phenomenal acting and a hard-hitting narrative, it’s a must-see romantic drama.īlue Is The Warmest Colour, based on the graphic novel of the same name by Julie Maroh, made history in 2013 by being the first Palme d’Or winner to have the award given to both its director and its two lead actresses. We hope that Cannes 2014, if we’re spared, will have sunny skies, warm weather and some films worth writing home about. Other big-name contenders had to nurse their disappointment: Jim Jarmusch for Only Lovers Left Alive (another convention-defying love story), James Gray for The Immigrant (with an award-worthy turn by Marion Cotillard) and Steven Soderbergh for Behind the Candelabra (Michael Douglas is a sugary triumph as Liberace).Īnd the Corlisses? We’re always pleased just to be here, and never more so than in this, our 40th year. So Escalante went home happy, and Exarchopoulos happy crying. ( READ: Richard Corliss’s review of The Past)

To Mexico: I hope we never get used to suffering.” To audiences: We hope you never have to suffer through Heli. Spielberg appeared to offer his personal valediction to Heli when he proclaimed, “The best director is … Amat Escalante.” On stage, the “best director” said, “ Thank you to this brave jury.

In another eyebrow-raiser, the Prix de la Mise en Scène went to Escalante for Heli, a remorselessly violent Mexican drug drama that stuck in most viewers’ minds only because it contained a vivid scene of cartel punks setting a man’s penis on fire. Instead, the jury chose Bruce Dern, the addled father in Alexander Payne’s Nebraska.

The Great Beauty’s consolation prize might have gone to Sorrentino’s star, Toni Servillo, who also had the leading role in his director’s Il Divo. A few critics had predicted (or rooted for) The Great Beauty, Paolo Sorrentino’s satirical elegy to Rome nightlife, which got nothing. The top awards contained few surprises: the Coens’ Inside Llewyn Davis (Spielberg pronounced it “Llewelyn”), Jia’s A Touch of Sin and Koreeda’s Like Father, Like Son had all been short-listed by knowledgeable Cannes touts, including us. In a Riviera fortnight whose wet skies and chilly temperatures cast a cloud over the usually festive proceedings, the jury spread its sunshine by blessing films from three continents and five countries. Prix d’interprétation feminine (Best Actress): Bérénice Bejo, The Past, France Prix d’interprétation masculine (Best Actor): Bruce Dern, Nebraska, U.S. Prix du Scénario (Best Screenplay): Jia Zhangke, A Touch of Sin, China Prix de la Mise en Scène (Best Director): Amat Escalante, Heli, Mexico Prix du Jury: Like Father, Like Son, Hirokazu Koreeda, Japan Grand Prix: Inside Llewyn Davis, Joel and Ethan Coen, U.S. ( READ: Mary and Richard Corliss’s review of Blue Is the Warmest Color) It also proved that, even in the rarified Elysium of minimalist films, all the art world loves a love story, whether of the octogenarians comforting each other in Amour or the schoolgirls contorted in scenes of smoldering passion in Adèle. This marked the first time in Cannes awards history that French-language films had received the top prize in two consecutive years. When Michael Haneke’s Amour took the Palme last year, the jury president, Nanni Moretti, also cited the film’s two leading actors, Jean-Louis Trintignant and Emmanuelle Riva, as co-winners. Steven Spielberg, president of this year’s jury, announced that he and his colleagues had taken the unusual decision to honor “three artists: Adèle, Léa and Abdellatif.” And when she arrived on stage with her co-star Léa Seydoux, the two actresses cried some more. Adèle Exarchopoulos, the 19-year-old heroine of Abdellatif Kechiche’s sexually graphic, potently naturalistic lesbian drama La Vie d’Adèle (known in English as Blue Is the Warmest Color), was named one of the three winners of the Palme d’Or, the highest prize at the 66th Cannes Film Festival.
