French are always snobby, male or female. it is congenital. It is the reason why all Intellectual americans ask asylum in Paris (and because we have the best wines).

Yeah so they haven't the right to drink alcolhol in the street or in restaurant. They do it secretly , while alevis these BAD GUYS do it openly, what is a shame !

Hey people - WHY DO YOU ACT LIKE YOU ARE IMAMS???

Hey - Religion is a private affaire - and this includes wether or not a person thinks it is a sin to enjoy alchohol...

And that is what we all hate - isn't it? Imams who run the world!!! Thinking they know best... That is what we hate - a fundamentalist world!

I for one do NOT think enjoying alchohol is a sin- I rather believ it is the act of being DRUNK that is a sin... So as long as you don't let the alchohol go to your head you are FINE!

After all that is what islam is about... Being able to restrain your body and finding a balance... (and off course the five pillars of the religions)

i am not surprised that the french did not give an award to this kurdish movie. it was probably too supportive of the overthrow of saddam, and the french will never allow that the destruction of saddam's regime was a good thing. an award might also have given indirect legitimacy to the coalition, which overthrew the regime, and was headed by americans.

after all, we can't have a film showing people happy that the monster is gone.

they don't care how bad things were under saddam, whether for kurds or anyone else.

BY THE WAY THIS SITE LISTS EMBASSIES FOR PALESTINE... BUT NOT KURDISTAN! another plot to damage our nation!

Talk about major denial complex you have not to mention extreme case of paranoia. Oh and comparing Palestine with Kurdistan is absurd. If the French had a so called conspiracy they wouldn't have allowed the film to enter in the first place. Stop being such a sore loser. I am sad because an Iraqi lost....

The president of this jury, Emir Kusturica, recognized himself that he was a bit "dictator" in the debate.

And I've heard that when a great cineast was at the top of the jury in Canens, it is always a second-level movie which is awarded.... (professionnal jealousy, you know).

BTW, the Palme d'or given to Dardenne Borthers seemed exaggerate because they had had it for que quite same film before.

I never think that Hiner could have had an award, not immediately after Moore's Palme d'or, because it could have seemed a "mea culpa" (not only a French problem, jury is international, but Kusturica does not like America...).

All the same, everybody talk about the movie and we could hope to see it soonly (at least in PARIS, I can hope to see it soonly in cinema, not you ? too bad for country ppl )


(and concerning the French conspiracy you make me laugh... Hiner had been supported and produced by French cinema for many years, since his first work, in fact... things are not so simple that seem).
