What a difference four and a half months can make.
Back at the end of May, as the Cannes Film Festival was coming to a close, we asked the members of our Criticwire network to send in their lists of the best films and performances. Now, as we reach the middle of October, many of those same films have played at the New York Film Festival over the past two weeks. “Amour,” Michael Haneke’s Palme d’Or winner, continues to be a pillar of 2012 festivals, but the renewed appreciation for Leos Carax’s “Holy Motors” might be the biggest takeaway from the 50th NYFF.
Denis Lavant turned in a Phoenix-like domination of the best performances list, earning more first-place votes than nearly all other performances had total mentions. Edith Scob and Kylie Minogue also earned high marks in the supporting performance realm for their “Holy Motors” roles of varying lengths.
In Criticwire end-of-festival poll tradition, we asked critics to submit their favorite films and performances from the respective festivals. There is some overlap between the coverage of Cannes and NYFF, as a handful of respondents participated in both polls. But, for the most part, this is a new wave of feedback.
One key difference is the support for Abbas Kiarostami. The Iranian master’s “Like Someone in Love” finished ahead of “The Paperboy” on the end-of-Cannes list of critics’ Most Disappointing Films. Now, in the wake of NYFF, the Kiarostami’s latest appeared on nearly half of critics’ Best Narrative lists. One of its stars, Tadashi Okuno, made the top performances
cut despite garnering only a single vote out of Cannes.
Amid the enduring arthouse slate, the biggest NYFF triumph was Christian Petzold’s “Barbara.” The early-80s period tale of a young doctor trying to escape East Germany scored high in multiple categories, including top Supporting Performance honors for Ronald Zehrfeld for his turn as André.
The biggest issue with having these basic categories is that many of the NYFF offerings don’t cater neatly to simple characterizations of narrative or documentary. Some are both and some are neither, as in the case of certain selections from the “Views from the Avant-Garde” sidebar. For this reason, we’ve reproduced the critics’ ballots below so that films and performances that may not have made the top in the more traditional categories can still get some recognition.
[Note: Scores for individual categories were tabulated on a simple weighted scale, with a first-place vote earning five points, second place earning 4 points, and so on. Critics could list fewer than five for a particular category or abstain from one altogether.]
