You certainly have seen this already in the press or on TV, but this is the list of prizes that the Jury of the “Un certain regard” selection of the Cannes Film Festival awarded yesterday night.
Prize of Un Certain Regard
HYMYILEVÄ MIES (THE HAPPIEST DAY IN THE LIFE OF OLLI MÄKI) by Juho Kuosmanen
Jury Prize
FUCHI NI TATSU (HARMONIUM) by Fukada Kôji
Prize for Best Director
Matt Ross for CAPTAIN FANTASTIC
Prize for Best Screenplay
Delphine Coulin & Muriel Coulin for VOIR DU PAYS (THE STOPOVER)
Special Prize Un Certain Regard
LA TORTUE ROUGE (THE RED TURTLE) by Michael Dudok de Wit
I must say that the prize to Kuosmanen movie came as a surprise to me. But that is often the case at Cannes!
I liked the movie and found the choice of B&W very appropriate to the script (Cannes Film Festival – 9th day – May 19th).
It was not ma favorite, but I’m happy that Finland got a prize and not for a Kaurismäki work.
“Rendez-vous” tonight for the results of the Official Competition.
