#LetterboxdFriday In 1946, in a 'Where were we before we were so rudely interrupted?'' gesture, 11 films tied for the top prize at the Cannes Film Festival. These are 4 of those films. ANTOINE & ANTOINETTE - 🇫🇷 A working class couple win the lottery and lose the ticket. Masterfully directed. Comfortably the best film of these four ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ PASTORAL SYMPHONY - 🇫🇷 A pastor takes in a blind orphan, falls in love with her when she grows up... and his love rival is his own son. So... ick. My favourite moment is when it suddenly occurs to them (after she's a fully grown adult) that a surgeon might be able to fix her eyesight. And he does. All kinds of stupid, but entertaining ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ MARIA CANDELARIA - 🇲🇽 The intentional artificiality is nice -- almost Powell & Pressburger level -- but it's VERY melodramatic even for the 40s ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ MEN WITHOUT WINGS - 🇨🇿 🇸🇰 [Actually Czechoslovakia] Solid Czech Resistance versus Nazis thriller ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ #LastFourWatched
