Anti-Bush film tops Cannes awards Director Michael Moore's controversial anti-Bush documentary Fahrenheit 9/11 has won the prestigious Palme d'Or best film award at the Cannes festival.
I don't think a 15 minute standing ovation would occur if Cannes had been held in the US or (gasp!) Texas.
Jury Prizes went to Thai director Apichatpong Weerasethakul's film Tropical Malady and to actress Irma P. Hall for her part in The Ladykillers
Cool. A Thai director receiving international acclaim. I don't know any that are well know outside of Thailand. Well, I don't really know any Thai directors really, so this was a surprise. I'm really interested in seeing the film, but I've also read that it's pretty boring.
