Your Favorite Booed Cannes Film

a forgivable liberty imo

"The Brown Bunny that was released commercially is a different cut than the one that caught all the heat at Cannes."

Completely different if I understand it. Ebert liked the theatrical cut after calling the Cannes cut the worst drivel ever basically.

Anti-Christ or Fire Walk With Me is definitely the worst film by the best director here (Anti-Christ is a slightly more coherent film than the latter, but I'm not sure the fact that Von Trier's appears to be trying harder should be worth any points) although Only God Forgives is also really mediocre. Some of these feel like they were booed just because France.

Southland Tales and Only God Forgives deserve to be booed anywhere.

Yeah I was thinking more of Marie Antoinette or Tree of Life.

where's that Pialat film?

Taxi Driver was booed ?? (and Pulp Fiction ?)
With the two aforementioned, Wild At Heart and Inglorious Basterds are my two favorites here
I would have booed Southland Tales

Crash (1996)

Is it the objectively best of these? No, but very few other movies even approach the clinical detachment of Ballard. I'd love to see a High Rise adaptation by Cronenberg.

booing a film is such an inherently ludicrous thing to do

I would feel so embarrassed to actually open my mouth and loudly say the word "boo" in public, what is wrong with these people

Oh, those French!

"rubbish! rubbish! RUBBISH film!"

booed these last few posts bewwwwwwwwwwwwww

Booing Southland Tales is kind of gratuitous, like booing a comic book or videogame or Happy Meal or something.

I will never forget a story Taubman tells about his London visit in 1956. What, he asked his Foreign Office escort, was that odd ‘oo, oo!’ noise coming from the back of the crowd? The diplomat explained that people were booing, an expression of disapproval. Khrushchev grew thoughtful. In the back of the car, he said experimentally to himself: ‘Boo!’ And then again: ‘Boo!’ He liked it. For the rest of the day, he went around exclaiming ‘Boo!’ to all kinds of puzzled people. He had learned something.

Do they boo at the end or after every scene they don't like?

unceasingly throughout, like buenos aires motorists who constantly sound their car horns for hours in an unmoving traffic jam

Medellin

haha

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Fire Walk with Me and Marie Antoinette are good. The rest of these were justly booed. Except maybe L'Aventura because I haven't seen it.

The Tree of Life and The Brown Bunny (original cut) are ok. I don't like them but I'm interested in the artistic possibilities of boredom.

Eff Pulp Fiction and Inglorious Basterds though seriously

I like lots of these, including Southland Tales, but "favorite" is probably Wild at Heart.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Sensible results, with the exception of Fire Walk with Me.
