It’s commonly believed that big film awards – an Oscar or a Palme d’Or – work wonders for a filmmaker’s career. Not so for Bruno Dumont whose “l’Humanité” took home best actor, best actress, and the Grand Jury Prize in Cannes. “Depending on who you listen to, ‘l’Humanité’ is stultifyingly boring/ hypnotically entrancing, intellectually intriguing/exploitatively hollow, etc. Some audience members have insulted Dumont; others have held his hand and wept.” – The Guardian
