Today’s awards Official Competition of the 68th edition of the festival are delivered. The films emerging as potential winners and disappointments.
The screening of the Australian film Macbeth , loosely based on the work of William Shakespeare and interpreted by Michael Fassbender ( Shame ) and Marion Cotillard ( La vie en rose ) under orders from Kurzel Justin , closed today the Official Competition of the 68th edition of the festival that morning presents its awards.
While the huge Marché du Film, the largest film market global scale, it is disarmed and thousands of distributors and buyers from around the world abandoned this seaside town, there are still a few hours of life to festival over 12 days aroused interest around the world, with its mix of glamor, large presences and international releases.
As for the awards, which are given morning and depend on the judgment of a jury headed by the brothers Ethan and Joel Cohen , The murderer , the Taiwanese master Hou Hsiao Hsien seems to have all the merits to win the Palme d’Or, the highest honor awarded by the sample.
Just a few steps below the belt Hou Hsiao Hsien signed Carol , delicate story of a love between two women set in the conservative society of North America 50s based on a novel by Patricia Highsmith , which brought Cannes Todd Haynes , with very good performances of Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara .
The award for female performance could fall perhaps in Margherita Buy , which takes an enormous amount of work as a film director on the set and beset by the illness of his mother in the tape Moretti; or perhaps also in the excellent duo of Carol that make Blanchete and Mara.
The star of Saul Fia , Geza Rohrig John Turturro Madre Mia and French Vincent Lindon , exclusive protagonist of social drama The loi de marché which describes the descent of a man of unemployed middle-aged, offered performance that could open them access to the acting consecration in Cannes.
Perhaps among the features of this Official Selection of Cannes can score the lot films of directors who are not English speakers and decided to leave the particular richness of its language and intonations for English spoken in a neutral and international casts, as the case of the Italian Youth movies Paolo Sorrentino and Il racconto racconti dei , Matteo Garrone , two directors who in the past proved to be italianísimos and lose their identity traces here.
While the great disappointment of the festival was the new film by American Gus Van Sant , The Sea of Trees , a sweetened drama that was received by critics . with hostility
