Variety‘s Justin Chang on Guillermo del Toro‘s Pan’s Labyrinth: “…a richly imagined and exquisitely violent fantasy…a fairy tale not even remotely intended for children, this entrancing magical-realist drama concocts a sinister spin on ‘Alice in Wonderland’ against the war-torn backdrop of 1940s Spain, shifting between two worlds with striking craft and discipline . With its graphic phantasmagorical elements and Spanish-language dialogue, pic will rely heavily on strong reviews and the loyalty of del Toro’s fans when Picturehouse releases it Stateside in October.”
Cannes prizes:
“Ken Loach’s The Wind That Shook the Barley, starring Cillian Murphy, was named the winner of the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival. The drama, about the Irish struggle for independence in 1920, beat out two heavy favorites for the top prize: Pedro Almodovar’s Volver and Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s Babel, though neither of those films went away empty-handed. Inarritu won the Best Director honor for his multilayered (and multi-continental) drama, which starred Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett, while Almodover was honored with Best Screenplay. Volver also won the Best Actress award, though in an surprise move, the Cannes jury (led by director Wong Kar Wai), bestowed both acting honors on ensemble casts: the female cast of Volver (which included Penelope Cruz and Carmen Maura) and the male cast of Indigenes, Rachid Bouchareb’s film about the role of North African troops in their defense of France during World War II. The Grand Prix, considered to be the runner-up prize for best film, went to French director Bruno Dumont’s Flandres. Andrea Arnold’s Red Road was given the Jury Prize.”
