"Un Conte de Noel" (directed by Arnaud Desplechin): This was one of my favorite films at the festival. It's about a family gathering that happens over Christmas and is full of intense, crazy characters who always do unexpected things. Catherine Deneuve plays the mother and Mathieu Amalric (the star of "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly") is the most troublesome son. I thought the film was terrific....

The buyer's market at Cannes this year wasn't as bidder heavy as it may have been in previous years, which has been well noted elsewhere. However, IFC Films and Sony Pictures Classics went home with at least three films each; in fact, they were the only studios to make any purchases by the end of the festival on Sunday. IFC took Steve McQueen's Hunger , Arnaud Desplechin's Un conte de Noël and Na Hong-jin's...

It's been a season with no persuasive candidate, as of this writing, for the Palme d'Or. Three films found favor however, with many critics. One is Waltz with Bashir from Ari Folman, a notably original animated doc about reconstructing the memory of atrocities in Lebanon. What grabbed me about "Waltz" is the unexpected mix of politics and haunting surreal imagery. The Changeling by Clint

Correction: I was wrong about a thinner crowd at this year's Cannes. At yesterday's screening of a pretentious, portentous bit of mystification titled Afterschool by Antonio Campos (Un Certain Reqard), not a seat went unclaimed in the commodious Debussy theater. I was installed so far left, I effectively saw only half a film throughout. By the end, my eyes had migrated to the left of my face
