This Golden Bear is a honey

Article Abstract:

The fact that Walter Salles' film 'Central Do Brasil' won a Golden Bear at the 1998 Berlin Film Festival marks the beginning of the revival of the Brazilian film industry. This follows a period during which local film production almost came to a complete halt following the closure of the State Film Board in 1992. 'Central Do Brasil' is a modest film which is not immediately appealing, but has great honesty. It confirms Salles' reputation as one of the most talent young filmmakers currently working in Latin America.

Who took the sparkle out of Sundance?

Article Abstract:

The Sundance Festival acted as a key showcase for independent films in the 1990s, but has now become more mainstream. Miramax was a leading player in US independent cinema in the 1990s, but does not have a film in the 2001 festival.

Could you run that by me again?

Article Abstract:

Key films shown at the 2001 Cannes film festival are discussed. Jean-Luc Godard's 'Eloge de l'Amour' is very hard to follow, but is less impenetrable than David Lynch's 'Mulholland Drive.'
