Carlos Reygadas‘ Post Tenebras Lux Cannes 2012 Winners Pt.1: Michael Haneke’s Amour, Matteo Garrone’s Reality, Cristian Mungiu’s Beyond The Hills The Best Actor was Mads Mikkelsen, who late last year received the European Film Award for European Achievement in World Cinema. (Among Mikkelsen’s future World Cinema "achievements" may be one of the villainous roles in Thor 2.) Mikkelsen’s Cannes victory was for his performance as a man (falsely) accused of sexually molesting a child — and the inevitable hysteria that ensues — in Thomas Vinterberg’s Danish psychological drama The Hunt. Carlos Reygadas cosmically surrealist family drama, Post Tenebras Lux ("Light After Darkness") earned the Mexican filmmaker the Best Director Award. In 2007, Reygadas’ Silent Night tied with Persepolis for the Jury Prize. And just a few days ago, Post Tenebras Lux was greeted by loud boos. And finally, the socially conscious British filmmaker Ken Loach won the...

Chicago – After receiving eight previous prizes at the Cannes Film Festival, German filmmaker Michael Haneke became the first person in history to win the Palme d’Or twice within a mere three-year period. Haneke snagged the top prize at Cannes for “Amour,” a widely praised drama about an elderly couple whose love is challenged by the physical frailties of age.
At the May 27th award ceremony for the 65th annual Cannes Film Festival, Haneke was joined onstage by his film’s two stars, the legendary French actor Jean-Louis Trintignant (whose performance in “Amour” marks his first onscreen appearance in nine years) and Emmanuelle Riva (of “Hiroshima Mon Amour” fame). In his acceptance speech, the director credited his two actors for being “the essence” of his film, while noting that “Amour” was “in part an illustration of the promise” that he and his wife made to one another. Haneke won the...

With the 65th Cannes Film Festival winding down today, the jury has announced their winning picks. Following up Terrence Malick‘s The Tree of Life last year, Michael Haneke once again wins the Palme d’Or for his drama Amour (our review), after taking it home for The White Ribbon just a few years back. The other major winner was Cristian Mungiu, who won prizes for Best Screenplay and Best Actress (awarded to Cosmina Stratan and Cristina Flutur) for his drama Beyond the Hills, a film we were mixed on.
The other major win was Mads Mikkelsen‘s Best Actor nab for The Hunt, one of our favorites from the fest, along with the Grand Prix going to Matteo Garrone‘s Reality (our review). Lastly, it’s great to see Benh Zeitlin take home a much-deserved Best First Feature prize for the Sundance hit Beasts of the Southern Wild. Check...
