The 45th annual Cannes film festival yields few surprises
This year's Cannes Film Festiva; started on a steamy note
with the screening of an uncut Basic Instinct. But lacking the
luster of glamour fests past, Hollywood on the Mediterranean
soon turned into a Basic Bore. Jurors opted for predictable
choices. The Palme d'Or, the festival's highest honor, went to
the Ingmar Bergman-scripted Best Intentions, an elegiac love
story produced for Swedish television. Other top awards went to
director Robert Altman for his wry Hollywood basher The Player
and to actor Tim Robbins for his deft portrayal of an unctuous
studio head in that film.
