Cannes in Review

As if you needed another reason to be jealous of your Cinema Studies major–ing friends who jetted off to France this for the Cannes International Film Festival, this year proved to be one of those years where you just had to have been there. Street takes a look at some of the high(and low)lights of the festival’s controversy–charged 64th foray. The Tree of Life Even among the festival’s most decorated films, there seemed to be few works that had the entire audience clapping by the credits. The Tree of Life, the 1950’s impressionist period piece from the reclusive auteur Terrence Malick, may have taken home the Palme d’Or – but that hardly means the decision was without  dispute. The film was a hit among those who valued Malick’s drifting, reflective narrative style and painterly direction of lush imagery.
