    I agree. He made the greatest neo-noir ever made, Chinatown, a deathless classic. We should know every shot and line by heart. In recent decades he's made plenty of good movies, Death and the Maiden, The Pianist, Oliver Twist, The Ghost Writer, Carnage, Venus in Fur.

    Some are thinking Lynne Ramsey's movie with Joaquin Phoenix might win the Palme d'Or, I don't know if I mentioned that. It's looking like this isn't one of Cannes' best years.

    For now I recommend reading AA Dowd of AV Club's summary of what he thinks will and should win the big prizes. I miss Mike D'Angelo's more engaging writing but that will do for now. I'll check other sources roundups tomorrow.
