Announcing the Palme d'Or Winner at Cannes...

Cannes Internation Film Festival

None other than: Terrence Malick's Tree of Life. Producers Bill Pohlad and Dede Gardner accepted the award on the behalf of Malick who's reclusive at public events and festivals. The win came a shock to some with mixed reaction after its world premiere in competition at this years Cannes International Film Festival.

Another major win was a Best Actress for Kirsten Dunst in Lars von Trier's Melancholia. Lars von Trier recent comments about nazi-sympathy (miserably failing with a very innapropriate joke?) wasn't expected to walk away with the prized Palme d'Or.

I've been waiting for Kirsten Dunst to get back on top of the acting game; I've always thought she was one of the best in Hollywood. Now she can have the career I thought she was going to have before she did those Spiderman films.

It is unfortunate that Tree of Life is only getting a limited release and that we won’t find out how it would have done commercially if released nationwide. It has an interesting cast and it would have been interesting to see how a smaller film for Brad Pitt and Sean Penn would do commercially.

My favourite Brad Pitt movie is Meet Joe Black (1998). It is an underappreciated and underrated classic. Everyone should watch this epic drama at least once in their life. It should have been much more critically and commercially successful and won a truckload of Oscars.
