Cannes results

[Aaron Gerow]

As many people know already, the Cannes Film Festival ended without any 
major awards for Japanese films.  Kurosawa Kiyoshi's Kairo was given the 
FIPRESCI critics prize, the third year in a row a Japanese film has won 
that award (M/OTHER and Eureka winning before).  None of the three films 
in the competition won an award.

Does anyone have any reports on the general reception of Japanese films 
at Cannes, or about the reception of specific films?
