...Italian films: respectively, Mario Garrone's Mafia expose Gomorrah and Paolo Sorrentino's Il Divo, a bio-pic of controversial former Prime Minister Giulio Andreotti. The Belgian brothers Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne took the Screenplay award for their immigrant crime drama The Silence of Lorna, and Nuri Bilge Ceylan, from Turkey, was named Best Director (a consolation prize here) for Three Monkeys, his study of corruption within a business and a family...

But the franchise auteurs whose films are in this year's main competition - Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne from Belgium, Nuri Bilge Ceylan for Turkey, Jia Zhangke from China - have made hardly a dent in the States, on either moviegoers or young moviemakers. They are leaders without followers...
