- Judging by this year’s winners of the Grand Prix in the Un Certain regard section and the Palme d’Or in the main comp, it looks like the emerging Romanian cinema has a healthier chance of breaking out onto the international scene. Cristian Mungiu's 4 months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days won the top prize at Cannes, while California dreamin' (Nesfarsit) whose director Cristian Nemescu who died during post-production won the Un Certain Regard crown.Us folks at Ioncinema.com are extremely happy with the diverse mix of titles that received awards in Cannes this past Sunday night – it proves that great cinema can come from smaller film nations and art house theatres can still count on diversity no matter what language is spoken and regardless if the film holds popular names/stars.

- First reaction: non-surprise. Many of the films mentioned below were tagged to be amongst the final choices – and the ones that I thought were going to break into the fest (namely a couple of American pics) look to be headed to Italy’s Venice film fest in the fall. Two films that I won’t be checking out are the ones that I’ve already seen (albeit, 10 minutes more of Deathproof could be interesting) and Zodiac a film that could have been featured apart from the comp titles. Here is the complete list below. Opening film: My Blueberry Nights - Wong Kar Wai4 Luni, 3 Saptamini Si 2 Zile (4 Months, 3 Weeks And 2 Days)- Cristian Mungiualexandra - Alexander Sokourovauf Der Anderen Seite - Fatih Akinbreath - Kim Ki DukLES Chansons D’Amour - Christophe HONORÉDEATH Proof - Quentin Tarantinoimport Export - Ulrich Seidlizgnanie (The Banishment) - Andrey Zvyagintsevthe Man From London
