Live from Cannes: 'Tulpan' Wins Un Certain Regard
Filed under: Awards », Festival Reports », Cinematical Indie »
Sergey Dvortsevoy's Tulpan won the Un Certain Regard category at the Cannes Film Festival tonight, with Tokyo Sonata taking the Jury Prize. Well, darn ... it figures that one of the few films we didn't manage to catch at the fest ended up winning the category.
The film is a Kahzakstanian tale of a young man who must marry before he can become a shepherd, but the only prospect he has is Tulpan, the daughter of another shepherding family, who doesn't like him because his ears are too big.

It was announced in January that the great and
powerful The Da Vinci Code will have its world premiere at
Cannes (assuming it's not banned by a British judge,
or something), opening the festival on May 17. Ron
Howard's film, however, is showing out of competition, and it wasn't until yesterday that the name of a competing
film was first revealed: Paris,
je t'aime will open the Un Certain Regard sidebar when it screens on the night of May 18. The film is a series
of 20 shorts by different directors, each one focusing on one of Paris's arrondissements, or districts. Among the
directors who took part in the project are Alfonso Cuarón, Joel and Ethan Coen,
Alexander Payne, Christopher Doyle, Tom
Tykwer, Olivier Assayas, and Wes Craven; stars include Maggie Gyllenhaal, Natalie
Portman, Rufus Sewell, Gena Rowlands, Ben
Gazzara, and Juliette Binoche.The films in the Un Certain Regard sidebar are not part of the festival's Official Selection; they are judged by a separate jury (Payne was last year's chair), and a prize is award to the best film in the series the night before the major awards are handed out.
