A Korean film "Taste of Money" submitted to Cannes Film Festival

The 65th Cannes Film Festival will be held throughout May. People are already interested in movies nominated in competition lineup ahead of opening of world-renowned film festival. Of movies nominated in competition lineup, i'd like to talk about a movie called 'Taste of Money' directed by Lim Sang-su. The movie is about secret story related with Korea's the most upper class. And even a poster of the film is attracting prospective viewers. Cannes' general delegate Thierry Fremaux also gave a good review of the movie's cinematic quality, saying "I'm doubtless sure that "Taste of Money" is the best movie among official entries in the 2012 Cannes Film Festival. As Korean movies such as 'Old Boy', 'Secret Sunshine' and 'Poetry' were awarded in major sectors of Cannes Film Festival, Movie community all over the world has paid lots of attention to Korean film. I think if current interest to 'Taste of Money' is continuous, that movie will get a good remarks from many people.

Jean Dujardin wins best actor Oscar for 'The Artist'

Jean Dujardin won the best actor Oscar on Sunday for silent film "The Artist," becoming the first Frenchman to win the coveted accolade and beating out Hollywood frontrunners George Clooney and Brad Pitt. Dujardin was largely unknown outside of France until "The Artist" became the toast of film festivals and started racking up awards last year for his moving, virtually silent portrayal of a dashing actor struggling with Hollywood's transition from silent to talking pictures. Clearly overwhelmed at his win a beaming Dujardin took to the stage punching the air. "I love your country," he declared with his thick French accent. "The Artist" is set in 1927 Hollywood. Dujardin referred to the first Academy Awards in 1929, which honored films from 1927 and 1928. "It's funny because in 1929 it was...Douglas Fairbanks who hosted the first Oscar ceremony," Dujardin said. "It cost $5 and it lasted 15 minutes. Times have changed." He ended his acceptance speech shouting in his native French "Oh Putain! Genial! Merci! Formidable! Merci beaucoup!" ("Bloody Hell! Brilliant! Thanks! Fantastic! Thank you very much!") followed by: "I love you!" He was also asked if he might make more "talkies" in the United States. He said he would like to, but that he probably would not because he is French. More article : http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/02/27/us-oscars-jeandujardin-idUSTRE81Q0EJ20120227
