The Cannes Film Festival which was held from the 13th to the 24th May has wrapped up and there was a selection of pretty good films this year with a couple we would rate as incredibly good and ones to keep an eye on, Precious with Mariah Carey stuck in our mind as Oscar Award Winning stuff!. A lighter festival than usual with a few highlights a reflection of the tight money times that affect even the film industry. The grand  finale of this film festival is the Palm D’Or Award which is held on the last day of the event,  with the  award going to the best film in the festival.

Palm dOr Award Ceremony - Photocall - 2009 Cannes Film Festival

Actress Charlotte Gainsbourg poses with her Best Actress award for ‘Antichrist’ as she attends the Palme d’Or Award Ceremony Photocall at the Palais des Festivals during the 62nd Annual Cannes Film Festival on May 24, 2009 in Cannes, France.

Charlotte Gainsbourg won the Best Actress Award see details above and the Michael Heneke black and white drama “The White Ribbon” won the best film award.

Inglourious Bastards which stars Brad Pitt and premiered with Angelina Jolie in attendance (see post) was directed by Quentin Tarantino received mainly negative reviews although we rated as 3 and half stars++++ but this was trailer based, and Quentin Tarantino did not attend the Palm D’Or Award event ceremony.

Mixed reviews were also received for the last film starring Heath Ledger “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus” although it looks a certainty that this will reach some form of cult status in future years.
