Cannes Film Festival 2012 Winners.

Well just an hour or so ago the winner of Cannes Film Festival were announced. Not a surprise but a relieve that Michael Haneke's Masterful movie AMOUR won the prestigious Palme d'Or prize. HANEKE previously won this prize in 2009 for The White Ribbon while his movies Cache and The Piano Teacher along with others have been a regular winner here. People thought that the Head of Jury Nanni Moretti's person conflicts will play a big part here and also that HOLY MOTORS might be a daring choice that they pick but yes it all ended very well.

                Below is the general buzz and my prediction for each of the movies.

 

1. Moonrise Kingdom:
                                             Well this Wes Anderson movie already was a hot favorite not just to me but to everyone considering Anderson's previous movies. Now overall what critics were saying is that it does have the whole Anderson-y touch and look like his previous movies and his signature style but as far as the movie itself is concerned this teen fugitive romance movie is very funny, romantic, sweet and smooth. Lightweight, whimsical, charming and gets a lot of help from the lovely music. In short, nothing like his previous movies. It got wonderful reviews and nothing negative so it may as well be among the top contenders for the prize, i don't quiet see a movie like this winning the award even though it may have won hearts.

Palme d'Or Probability: 4.5-5

My Most Anticipated Cannes 2012 Movies.

               Well Cannes Film Festival started today with the reviews of its opening film "Moonrise Kingdom" circulating throughout the internet world and specially on Twitter where as you might see that is all what i tweeted or re-tweeted about. I always wanted to attend Cannes film festival, that is a wish of mine but what i can only do is look forward to the reviews for some of my anticipated movies and also to the awards season. Most of the buzz starts here as last year has to be the fine example of it with The Artist raving and enormous buzz that led to its Oscar win. So here is my list of Most Anticipated Movies shown in Cannes in any category (In-Competition, Out of Competition or Un-Certain Regard):

1. Moonrise Kingdom


Directed by the odd but brilliant filmmaker Wes Anderson, the movie with its very first look grabbed my attention. He is someone that most people don't get and others are a die hard fan of his work. It looks stunning, Anderson bringing his well known visual style and a odd downbeat story about two very young lovebirds running off their home. Its one of my most anticipated movies of the year overall and is the only reason why i am dying to be in Cannes right now.

2. Cosmopolis


With a very dull and weak looking movie A Dangerous Method not causing a much needed stir for a filmmaker like David Cronenberg, the man is back with a movie that truly describes him as a filmmaker. Cosmopolis oddly stars Robert Pattinson as a young billionare riding across Manhattan in his limo to get a haircut with some odd and bizarre encounters on his way. The trailer shows some disturbing, shocking and sickening shots that just makes you more and more excited. I hope this movie works for him.
