'Hahaha' Takes Un Certain Regard Award at Cannes

With an eye on the original and different and a commitment to heighten awareness of young international talent the Un Certain Regard section at the Cannes Film Festival is a separate competition than the one for the coveted Palme d'Or, but nevertheless it is a part of the festival some cinephiles pay just as much attention to. This year, South Korean director Hong Sangsoo has picked up the Un Certain Regard award for his film Hahaha. The jury, led by filmmaker Claire Denis, viewed a total of 19 films this year, and awarded the jury prize (essentially the runner-up) to the Peruvian film Octubre, and actresses Adela Sanzhez, Eva Bianco, and Victoria Raposo from the film Ivan Fund received special recognition, as did Santiago Losa's Los Labios. Hahaha is the story of two South Koreans who serendipitously meet in Canada and during the course of their conversations, realize they've met the same people on their journeys from their homeland. ...And then they have to fight robot invaders from another galaxy. No? That's not this movie? Oh well. Anyway, here's a non-subtitled trailer for the latest Un Certain Regard winner:
