Chapter 932 Super Bad Movie
Indeed, black and red are also red.
However, if the dispute exceeds a certain limit, the situation may develop to the other extreme and fall apart faster than imagined.
"Brown Rabbit", that's it.
The official venue score of 0.5 became the trigger. Even in Cannes, which advocates art, such a one-sided score is still amazing.
For a moment, Vincent Gallo was angered. The actor who wrote, directed, acted, and served as the photographer himself, shooting the entire movie single-handedly, could not stand that his work should be treated like this.
So, he and the film critic started to quarrel -
Shoot the first bird! To capture the thief, capture the king first!
Vincent immediately grabbed Roger Ebert and attacked.
You come and go. At first, the two people had a confrontation over movies and professionalism, but it soon escalated into a vicious and ugly personal attack.
Vincent was the first to fire, calling Roger "a big fat pig with the body of a slave trader."
Roger fired back without showing any signs of weakness, "I am very fat, but one day I may lose weight, but he will not. He will always be the director of 'Brown Rabbit'."
In just a few days, the "Brown Rabbit" controversy has already stolen the spotlight in Cannes.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Vincent and Roger are not done yet.
What’s ironic is that the controversy surrounding “Brown Rabbit” was so heated that people ignored a super bad film in competition on the last day of the festival——
"The Curtright Family."
This work, written and directed by director Bertrand Briere, encountered a lot of negative reviews. The final official screening score was 0.3 points, which continued to set a new lower limit.
However... no one paid attention.
All eyes were on the "Brown Rabbit", and people turned around and forgot about the "Cortright Family". For a moment, they didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
Although no one has statistics, there is no way to know whether this is the worst main competition in ten years. The overall quality is generally sluggish, and even the tallest ones are still unsatisfactory; but there is no doubt that it is , the controversy and discussion caused by this main competition is undoubtedly the strongest in recent years——
It was so lively that even the lunatic Ra's Mad Tyr became normal.
With much fanfare and excitement, the appearance of “Brown Rabbit” almost stole the attention of the entire Cannes.
But!
Calm down and think about it, what if "Brown Rabbit" wins the prize in the end?
This...
Even if it is just a thought, I will shudder in an instant. Relatively speaking, climbing to the top of the Golden Palm in "Dog Town" does not seem so crazy?
It is precisely because of this that the attention gathered in Cannes on the last day was particularly noisy, and almost everyone had their own list of winners in their minds.
Everyone hopes that the movies they like and support can win awards.
Then——
“It is rumored that the crew of ‘Brown Rabbit’ has been recalled.”
Silence fell.
The whole Cannes was stunned.
I was so shocked and stunned that I forgot to curse, and I couldn’t even get angry. I just looked at each other and doubted my ears.
No...it can't be...?
“Not just a recall, but a grand prize.”
The heart contracts instantly, big prize? How old? Top three? Is it the jury award?
Wait, isn’t it the Palme d’Or?
However, if you think about it seriously, it seems that it is not impossible. The reason lies in the chairman of the jury, Patrice Jahou.
Patrice Chahou has always dared to challenge taboos and sensitivities. His first film as a director, "The Body of Love," is truly daring.
"Intimacy" two years ago won the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival. This film challenges the audience throughout the film, telling the story of two men and women who have their own families secretly dating in an apartment every Wednesday afternoon. There is no romance, everything is just "sex", but one day the man becomes interested in the woman's life and begins to follow her.
Mark Rylance, who later won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for "Bridge of Spies", gave an "unreserved" performance in this movie.
Compared with "Intimacy", "Brown Rabbit" seems to be less provocative.
So, as the chairman of the jury, it seems not impossible that Patrice Chahou defended the art and gave affirmation to "Brown Rabbit". This——
Cannes, everyone went crazy, one or two people grabbed their hair and lost their minds.
What's worse is that in previous years, by noon, the news has been flying all over the place, because the crew needs to return to Cannes and prepare for the red carpet of the closing ceremony in the evening. The director and actors should show up one after another. All kinds of news come and go. It's the busiest time.
However, not this year.
Calm and calm.
But the quieter it became, the more disturbing it became, and the media reporters collectively went crazy.
If "Brown Rabbit" and "The Cortright Family" win the Palme d'Or and the Jury Prize in the end, it will be truly shocking and equivalent to turning the table over.
anger. anxiety. despair. numbness. The heart is as gray as death.
After a long period of suffering, the media in Cannes finally made some noise——
"Le Figaro" reported according to reliable sources that the crew of "Brown Rabbit" has left Cannes and has not been recalled. , no prizes.
Phew!
A false alarm!
Even if it is just such a news, the media reporters in Cannes have already raised their arms and cheered.
From the perspective of the masses, the "Brown Rabbit" won the award and the feud between Vincent Gallo and Roger Ebert continued and even escalated. This is the real excitement. The media should fan the flames of drama.
However, Cannes is slightly different. Here, after all, there are some things that are more important.
It’s not a “brown rabbit”, that’s the good news!
"Le Figaro" broke the silence and dug a gap, and Cannes finally became lively, with all kinds of news pouring out.
"Far and Away" crew, recalled.
The crew of "Invasion" is recalled.
"5pm" crew, recalled.
If you don’t sing, it will be a blockbuster.
After a brief period of silence and anxiety for most of the morning, the crew returned to Cannes one after another, and the media reporters became excited again.
Then, the big debut——
The crew of "Elephant" is recalled.
Buzz buzz, buzz buzz.
Amidst the hustle and bustle, this piece of news was like a pebble thrown into a pond, instantly silencing all the noise.
Gus Van Sant and two ordinary students Alex and Eric returned to Cannes.
So, what does this mean?
Anson, yes, ask Anson, the crew members are here, do you still need to wait for the rumors?
But...where is Anson?
Not long ago, Anson, who seemed to be chatting with everyone at the Movie Palace, turned around and disappeared. Could it be that he went to the bathroom or a coffee shop?
Russling and searching, I found nothing. Ansen actually disappeared.
So, what does this mean?
The next second, boom!
Full fryer.
As Anson said, if the crew is recalled, the first thing the actors should do is prepare for the red carpet in the evening, and cannot be careless.
The disappearing Anson seems to be proving this with practical actions.
So, has the Elephant really been recalled?
The official screening score was 2.1, but it did not affect the prospects of the film at all, proving once again that the aesthetic taste of the jury members was not affected at all.
This is not the first time and will not be the last time, the jury ignored the official venue catalog and made their own judgment and selection.
So, what award will be the "Elephant"?
Best Director? Or the Jury Prize?
The script and actors shouldn't be possible. After all, the focus of this movie is not here. After thinking about it, the jury award is the most likely... right?
