Voting closed

The Cannes Film Festival is in May and I thought we should find four movies related to Cannes to watch in May. Maybe a bit of a risk since it isn't exactly full of well known mainstream movies, but I promise there is more to choose from than French arthouse movies. The criteria is simple, the movie must have been presented at the Cannes Film Festival at some point.

On the official website you can browse through all movies that has been in competition over the years. To narrow it down there is a list of all the Palme d’Or winners or more broadly every movie that have won any award at Cannes. This list all movies that have been in competition per year in alphabetical order

Rules

  • Have been in the official program on the Cannes Film Festival in any year
  • Not one we have done before
  • Only one nomination per user
  • Please only nominate if you intent to participate
  • Upvote the post(s) with a nomination you would like to be picked for discussion next month
  • Please state the title of the movie clearly on the first line, and add any additional general comments in the next paragraph to keep voting simple

In case of ties in the number of votes, random.org will decide. Voting closes Sunday.

    Pan's Labyrinth, Guillermo del Toro's fantasy/horror film, premiered at Cannes in 2006. And while it didn't actually win any official awards there, it still holds the record for the longest standing ovation, at 22min!

    It's one of my all-time favorite movies, and even though it's in Spanish, I think it's still far more approachable than even most English-language Cannes winners. So it would be my nomination... mostly since despite seeing it dozens of times already I would happily watch it again, and I would also enjoy reading other Tildes user's opinions of it. :)

    How about Luxary Car which won Prix Un Certain Regard in 2006. Or maybe another Un Certain Regard. The Korean film, "Hahaha" was pretty good. I could watch it again

      Looks interesting, but do you know if it is available somewhere? Seems hard to find.
