Hey folks, Harry here.... well here's the films of Cannes that you have to see... I saw THE MAN WHO WASN'T THERE and am very happy to see it on the list of winners, just wish I'd gotten to see the rest... sigh... Well, congratulations to them all!
Froggy in with the winners of the Cannes Film Festival 2001
No great shocks - the Moretti was the instant favourite the minute it was screened. And as much as the subject matter of THE PIANO TEACHER seemed to repell people, Huppert's performance was unanimous. Sorry Baz, Moulin Rouge walks home alone.
