A beatiful strange dream won jury's admiration in Cannes by Zivka Deleva

The most glamorous film festival in the world definitely is Cannes film Festival. This event that celebrates the moving pictures for 63 years unites the moviemakers from all the continents. And one thing is for sure – on the red carpet Europeans bring extravaganza and unusual outfit, unlike the Americans who are thought by their main ceremony – the Oscar’s ceremony and add the festival some glamour. After the Olympic Games, this is the event that attracts the biggest media attention and if you want to see your favorite star, you must wait for at least two hours aside the red carpet and have the chance to see at least her/his back. Aside of the look, Canne! s film festival is very important for the movie industry. Almost all the time, a jury led by an admired President chooses the best features to give the most wanted awards “Palm D’Or”. Almost all the time, the chosen ones are surprisingly names that weren’t expected to win. The same thing happened this year. Almost anonymous Thai filmmaker Apichatpong Weerasethakul left Cannes with the memory of a life time. For his “Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives” he left all the star directors with opened mouths. “Thailand needs some kind of hope, because we are very depressed about the confrontation of different ideologies right now. I hope the news that Thailand has won the prize here for art and culture will be like cool water to calm down the situation" – said Weerasethakul accepting the award. A beautiful strange dream, that’s how jury director Tim Burton characterized his Thai colleague’s movie. That’s wh! at connects the both directors, because Burton is very much kn! own for his great fantasy put in his movies. Unlike the best movie, the best performances weren’t surprises for no one. Javier Bardem for “Biutiful” and Juliette Binoche for “Certified Copy” deserved their applauses.
