His point is that you can fairly criticize a place you've never been to - not that you can set a film in a place you've never been to. Frankly, I think criticizing a place you've never been to makes as much sense as criticizing a food you've never eaten, but maybe that's just me.

i think he does score some points for being critical of his country. anyone who does that do. it's sympathetic. now wether he is worth th epalme d'or , havenst seen the film so cant say. he was there though front row with the french strikers during the events, maybe that also helps his "fame" - i dont mean he does it for that (or that he doesnt) but that i think it helped tooComment

Actually I read that another American film won something at Cannes. Or maybe its just be sumbitted in the running, or whatever. But it was some guy in Texas who spliced together his home movies with some Mac program.Captain of Team Apolyton - ISDG 2012

Is it just me or do the French have really f*ucked up taste in movies? You could pit anything at the Oscar's, even the foreign films, against anything that stumbles out of Cannes. What is up with that?

Thank god. I thought I was missing a critical point of that movie.Originally posted by monolith94
It wasn't about Africa at all. It was about World War 2 on the surface and the core of the movie is about love and what we must do for it - the sacrifices we must make. The film was SET in africa.

Only with my tongue.
I guess what I might be trying to say is this: What makes a movie Cannes material? I'm not seeing a pattern (other than anti-Americanism this year).
