So I am a few days late on posting this but the Cannes Film Festival is over. I was wrong. the Coen Brothers flick didn't win anything but received nothing but raved reviews. A film from Romania one the Palme d'Or, which can sometimes be a kiss of death (did anyone see The Wind That Shakes the Barley?!?) or box office gold (I am sure you have all heard of a little film called Pulp Fiction). A Japanese film entitled The Mourning Forest one the runner-up prize, the Grand Prix, along with Gus Van Sant's Paranoid Park taking home a special award and the lead actress of the Korean film Secret Sunshine (which was directed by the man behind the fascinating film Oasis) taking home Best Actress.

There was also some cool film sales. IFC picked up the new film from Hou Hsiao-Hsien (Millennium Mambo, Three Times) called Looking for the Red Balloon, a remake of the French classic. The also picked up Paranoid Park. The Weinstien Company bought the Joy Division film Control while a yet to be officially announced company purchased the Asia Argento starrer Boarding Gate (I promise to tell you all when everything is said and done....I feel honored to know and not anyone else....).

Well that is all for now I will be back in a day along with a post a few days after that with my reaction to the new Tsai Ming-Liang film I Don't Want to Sleep Alone (which I will catch on Friday).
