...sophisticated, became the Asian nation of choice, and Abbas Kiarostami the cinematic imam. Kiarostami had two films in Cannes this year: an autobiographical documentary, 10 on Ten, and a Minimalist essay, Five, comprising five shots of a shoreline. No dialogue, no story, but, for the attentive viewer, much visual wit. One shot featured ducks waddling from left to right on the beach for a few minutes; then, suddenly, two ducks seem to change their minds and head back the other way; the rest of the flock, and many more, follow suit. A sweet parable of conformity. But if Kiarostami...
...digital video camera as well as a hosted weblogging service like TypePad and, if you want, editing software such as Final Cut Pro or iMovie (the latter is free with most Apple computers).

Indeed, Tarantino said that ?2046? might have won a cinematography prize, but there was no such category available.

This artless, plotless film had, according to Tarantino, ?the strongest defenders on the Jury.? And the strongest...
Forget what you've heard about Hong Kong-based writer-director Wong Kar-wai: that he's the tall dude in the cool shades who makes superhip movies the international art-house set loves for their languorous rhythms, their gorgeous-garish visual tones, their iconizing of alienation, their pioneering of a sultry cinematic language. Forget too the completion anxiety that attended his new film 2046?four years in the gestating, with scenes still being shot a few weeks ago, and which came so close to missing its slot in the Cannes Film Festival that, for the first time in memory...
