...entire ceremony had the theme of a ?Fahrenheit? love-fest. The evening?s first winner, Short Film runner-up Jonas Geirnaert, had a message about Moore for viewers of the Independent Film Channel back in the States, which was broadcasting the show: ?In case he shouldn?t win, if anyone is watching this from the United States, please don?t vote Bush.? Then Tim Roth, announcing another prize, declared, ?I?d like to compliment the young man for his comments, which I thought were extraordinarily brave...
...that Cannes? prizes, and the declarations made during the ceremony, have little impact on the mass of U.S. moviegoers, let alone on the supporters of an incumbent President. Moore acknowledges this when he was asked what the effect of the Palme d?Or might be on Bush. The winner?s reply: ?He won?t know it exists...

And where, one wondered, was Wong Kar-wai, writer-director of the Festival?s most eagerly awaited film, ?2046,? and his luminous cast: Zhang Ziyi, Gong...
...film critics had voted it the best of Cannes - and with good reason. Wong?s film is a cool meditation on, and a warm evocation of, the loves of a man?s life. The man (Leung, playing the same character he did in Wong?s 2000 Cannes prize-winner ?In the Mood for Love?) has a mysterious woman in his past (Gong Li), a flirtatious woman in his present (Zhang) and a robot woman in his future (Faye Wong). There?s no excuse for ignoring this beautifully made, deeply felt movie. We can only surmise that this Jury...
