1.0 link 206632 http://www.huffingtonpost.com/michael-giltz/cannes-2009-day-nine-pare_b_206632.html The critical consensus is as strong as I've ever seen at Cannes: the best film of the Festival is Une Prophete. Mind you, that doesn't mean the jury will pick it. Choose 12 people at random and there's no telling what you'll end up honoring. Typically, there will be two camps and they end up compromising on a third film each of them likes second best (perhaps Fish Tank?). Or they'll swap the Palme d'Or winner for an acting award...
