For a film director who demands quite so much of his audience, and even more uncompromisingly of himself, it has taken the Austrian director Michael Haneke a long time (20 years to be precise) to gain the Palme d'Or at Cannes, that quintessential approbation of the art-house auteur. But then maybe, like Martin Scorsese's long wait for an Oscar, it isn't so surprising. Haneke is a director who challenges...

For the past three decades, Ken Loach has been the granddaddy of British Social Realism. His kitchen sink dramas focus on real people living normal lives, normally in working class Britain. He has occasionally ventured out of his comfort zone with films like LAND AND FREEDOM and THE WIND THAT SHAKES THE BARLEY, with much critical success - the latter won the Palme D'Or at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival....

As usual, note that each of the award ceremonies tend to have their own regulations for what can be included and when, so there are plenty of discrepancies in regard to official release year, etc. Also, I had some difficulty finding the recipients of many of the national industry awards, so forgive me for leaving out some of the countries that were listed for 2006.

The best new work I've seen at the festival so far is Michael Haneke's Das weisse band ( The White Ribbon ). That shouldn't surprise me too much since it did win the Palme d'Or at Cannes this year. The film is a meditation on the cycle of violence that begets more violence in a small German village just after the turn of the (20th) century. Handsomely mounted in crisp black and white, part of the reason...
