With her pouty face and magnificently sleek body, Isabelle Adjani looks like a Barbie doll grown up and gone bad. At 28, she has become the divine masochist of the French cinema, playing Truffaut's Adele H., or a woman who gives birth to a monster in Possession. This time Adjani has turned on her siren to play a troubled tramp in a village in southern France.

The award reflected a retreat to the ordinary concerns of cinema. Last year's Palme d'Or winners, Missing from the U.S. and Yol from Turkey, played like news bulletins from Third World battlegrounds. This year's winner, Shohei Imamura's The Ballad of Narayama, is a harshly elemental lyric about Japanese mountain folk that could have been made any time...
