If the jury was seeing films for the first time, they would be impressed by anything! Snobism is a good thing for a film jury, it is supposed to be composed of people who have seen films before, have some background knowledge and developed their own opinion. Rewarding a standard production (such as Anges et Demons) would be silly. The film has to contribute something to the cinema landscape and/ or culture in general. I haven't seen The Eel, but then often anything Japanese or French seems snobby from the outset... no seriously... your opinion (or mine) has a worth in making the film a success or not. I'm still traumatised by Dancer in the Dark's final scene, something I no doubt could have missed if Cannes hadn't rewarded Von Trier for it... I should hope so!

J'ai vu quelques palmes d'or récemment : Orpheus Negra, L'anguille. Je pense qu'il y a un certain snobisme dans les choix. Qui sommes-nous pour juger ? Des hommes et des femmes, comme ceux qui attribuent les prix. Au cinéma, je suis l'incarnation du public moyen. Si mon opinion en tant que telle n'a aucune valeur, cela rejoint exactement mon propos : il y a un certain snobisme, certains diraient "élitisme", dans les choix. Isabelle Hupert n’a pas spécialement ma faveur.

I just looked through the history of the winners, and there are a lot of seriously good films on that list. The Palme d'Or is probably still the best prize in Cinema, but of course cinema criticism has a very subjective side to it in its evaluation. Last year I would not have given the prize to "Entre les Murs" (The Class) for example, but I do think we should be able to judge for ourselves. And on top of that, this year the jury was presided by my favourite actress: Isabelle Huppert! Surely you would consider her opinion in film worth something, non?
