After eleven days, hundreds of screenings and thousands of snaps from the paparazzi, there could only be one Palme d’Or winner. “The White Riband,” by Austrian director Michael Haneke, was awarded the prize for its depiction of the cruel punishments meted out at a rural German school before the First World War. The second-place grand prize went to French director Jacques Audiard’s prison drama “A Prophet.” The acting awards went to Charlotte Gainsbourg for Lars von Trier’s “Antichrist” and Christoph Waltz for Quentin Tarantino’s “Inglourious Basterds.”

Reviews of Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds is coming in from Cannes. Nice roundup posted on Nikki Finke’s site. Most of the buzz seems pretty good, although there’s definitely some critical opinions – not a shocker considering the film’s plot and Tarantino’s filmmaking sensibilities. Check them out.

“Today” Show anchor Ann Curry couldn’t keep her hands off the Hollywood hunk during an interview at the Cannes Film Festival, where Pitt is promoting his latest film, “Inglourious Basterds.” Curry, who has anchored NBC’s “Dateline” and “Nightly News,” playfully patted the actor on his chest and even grabbed his chin during the 7-minute interview, which aired Wednesday morning. “Women who watch the ‘Today’ show are really envious of me right now because I get to stand here in Cannes talking to you,” Curry said to the actor before asking him if he had anything to say to those said adoring female fans. – from NYDailynews

Quentin Tarantino has made an eye-catching return to the Cannes Film Festival with Inglourious Basterds, an epic World War II movie set in Nazi-occupied France. Tarantino swaps fact for pulp fiction in Inglourious Basterds, a comic revenge fantasy about Jewish freedom fighters bringing down the Nazis in 1944. Brad Pitt plays Lieutenant Aldo Raine, the leader of a gang of Jewish-American soldiers operating in occupied France whose self-proclaimed mission is “to kill as many Nazis as possible”. – from BBC

Empire has just seen Quentin Tarantino’s eagerly-awaited WWII flick, Inglourious Basterds, and it’s rather brilliant. Every bit as idiosyncratic as the spelling of its title, it’s a wonderfully-acted movie that subverts expectation at every turn. And it may represent the most confident, audacious writing and directing of QT’s career. – from Empire

Given the inherent three-dimensional quality evident in Pixar’s cutting-edge output, the fact that the studio’s 10th animated film is the first to be presented in digital 3-D wouldn’t seem to be particularly groundbreaking in and of itself. But what gives “Up” such a joyously buoyant lift is the refreshingly nongimmicky way in which the process has been incorporated into the big picture — and what a wonderful big picture it is. Winsome, touching and arguably the funniest Pixar effort ever, the gorgeously rendered, high-flying adventure is a tidy 90-minute distillation of all the signature touches that came before it. – From The Hollywood Reporter
