Rumors began to arrive about 4 hours before the awards ceremony began. Winners in Twitter filtered; It not said what items had been awarded, but it would be them. The names circulating as the elect of this edition were exactly opposite to names throughout the Cannes Film Festival had excited the criticism and many of moviegoers who see 5 to 6 films per day. The general certainty that it was against the best official selection in years sullied with the consecration of the most reprehensible similar films that encouraged the preceding editions. The enthusiasm vanished in minutes. He won the most conservative cinema, titles that show an understandable political correctness and others who enjoy an aura alleged film-art. Risk and innovation were postponed.
The English filmmaker Ken Loach won his second Palme d’Or with I, Daniel Blake. Loach relevant critique of the English present socio-economic order, which in turn mirrored other European experiences, not necessarily make his film in an exponent of the best films. Who can be against a film in which he follows a friendly carpenter nearly 60 years fighting for their dignity? The story of Daniel is universal and speaks of an economic system that mistreats structurally people living in it. The protagonist, for health reasons, can not work anymore, but to continue receiving social assistance you need must insist on looking for a job which in turn knows he can not take. The film points out the paradox absurd and ridiculous functioning of a system whose rules fatigued and surround their supposed beneficiaries.
The social realism of Loach is correct, but the film just plays more or less what we know. When the film is limited to slavishly imitating a social experience, freezes and thus participates in the power that seeks to challenge. Tears can arouse compassion, but the reality of Daniel Blake needs indignation and rage. In that sense, the Aquarius Kleber Mendonca Filho Grand was a political film that worked thoroughly cinematic language and also sought tune with tempera more consistent mood that is required to fight against the economic power and its administrators.
The jury also ignored the protagonist of the film Mendonca Filho: Sonia Braga, in the role of his life, he funneled the courage needed to confront those who invent laws and they take advantage. The award for Filipino actress Ma ‘Rosa Brillante Mendoza, is not only an error of dramatic but political reading: that character simply makes a pact with widespread corruption in the Philippines that neither the film even gets contextualize .
The shared Best Director award shows a fracture within the jury. Some rumors say that the filmmaker Arnaud Desplechin French fought aguerridamente by compatriot Olivier Assayas, while the rest of the directors on the jury, chairman George Miller and filmmaker László Nemes preferred the work of Romanian filmmaker Cristian Mungiu. Personal Shopper , Assayas explores the digitization of everyday experience and their relationship with spiritualism. Actress Kristen Stewart plays a psychic who lives in Paris and works as an assistant to a celebrity. Assayas’s film has some remarkable passages, especially when the character travels from Paris to London and back and the action is confined to holding a dialogue with a spectrum via WhatsApp. bacalaureat Mungiu, it looks good and deep, but more than a film is an axiom in images that aims to demonstrate the moral corruption microfísicamente Romania. From a failed rape the daughter of the protagonist and fraud that this organized so that it does not suffer against the requirement of a university examination, the director believes dismantle the mechanisms of morality and how men are lost in the elections between the good and the bad.
it is inconceivable that films like Sieranevada, Rester Vertical, Paterson, Aquarius and Elle have not earned any awards. It is true that every film discussion is not equivalent to that which can hold around the objects of study of the hard sciences. Objectivity in art seems impossible, but not everything is a matter of mere opinion and idiosyncrasies. It is incomprehensible that the films Puiu, Guiraudie, Jarmusch, Mendonca Filho and Verhoeven have not been recognized. If this festival remain in the memory of moviegoers, will be for those glorious titles and not by their winners.
