So tomorrow it ends, the 65th Cannes Film Festival. The fest has been angering and mostly underwhelming. Outside of raves for The Past, Inside Llewyn Davis, and Blue is the Warmest Color, not much has been liked at all. Sure, Behind the Candelabra was well-received, and Paolo Sorrentino's The Great Beauty was liked, but everything else has been a disappointment.
Especially Only God Forgives. What fantastic trailers! The film is generally regarded as the worst one in competition, despite the massive hype. What disappointment!
To be 100% honest, I anticipated almost every film in the competition, so it pained me to see Nebraska get side-stepped, Jimmy P. to be ignored (and at this point, forgotten), and The Immigrant to be so low. It's now time to see which films will take home the big prizes.
Predictions after the jump.
