"Although winning the Palme d'Or at Cannes is unlikely to create the box-office buzz that winning an Oscar does, it Is a pointer to the serious content of the film, and probably denotes critical success more than commercial success," says Barry Norman as Film 94 ends the current series by taking off to the south of France to report on this year's festival.
He adds that with less
American domination of the festival there will hopefully be a little more emphasis on the movies rather than on the razzmatazz that surrounds the appearance of the stars. Among the films that are guaranteed to cause a stir are
Quentin Tarantino 's Pulp Fiction, the British entry, The Browning
Version, directed by Mike Figgis , and the festival's opening film Hudsucker Proxy by former Paime d'Or winners Joel and Ethan Coen.
