On Sunday, May 27, 2012, the 65th Cannes Film Festival ended - a grandiose annual celebration of filmmakers and viewers, which lasted for 10 days. During this time, the jury and the audience watched the films, which were presented in 7 main nominations of the competitive program, and 9 additional ones.
Instructions
Step 1
The Cannes Film Festival ended with an expected victory. Austrian director Michael Heinecke for the second time after the film "White Ribbon" again became the winner of the last 65th festival, presenting the film "Love". The story of a married couple, together meeting a difficult time of ripe old age, was played by the famous French director and actor Jean-Louis Trintignant and Emmanuelle Riva.
Step 2
The second most important prize of the Cannes Film Festival was given to the film "Reality Show" by Italian director Matteo Garrone. Her hero is so keen on a television game, an analogue of the show "Big Brother", that reality ceases to exist for him, and he moves into an imaginary world.
Step 3
The prize for Best Actor went to Dane Mads Mikkelsen, who played a kindergarten teacher who was unfairly accused of pedophilia in the film The Hunt. But the prize for the best female role went to two actresses at once: the Romanians Cosmine Stratan and Cristina Flutur, who played the main roles in the film Beyond the Hills by Christian Muncu. The scriptwriter for this film won Cannes's Palme d'Or for Best Screenplay.
Step 4
It is worth noting the success of the Russian woman Taisiya Igumentseva, a recent graduate of VGIKA. She won the debut film competition with her film "Road to …", which, nevertheless, the teachers of her native institute assessed only "good". The festival jury turned out to be less strict.
Step 5
The winner in the nomination "Best Short Film" was the film "Quiet" directed by Rezan Yesilbast, and the film "Beasts of the Wild South", directed by Ben Zaytlin, was recognized as the best directorial debut.
Step 6
It is worth mentioning that in the program "A special look", the jury of which this year was headed by the American actor Tim Roth, the film of the Russian director Sergei Loznitsa "In the Fog" was awarded by the international press.
