#no one interviewed him at cannes really except that short cannes pieceim sad

[shesnake]

I actually spoke with Park Chan-wook at the closing night party after the awards — major life highlight — and got to tell him how much I loved The Handmaiden, which played in competition at Cannes last year. And he responded with the saddest thing I’ve ever heard: “But it didn’t win anything.” The idea that Park Chan-wook thinks that his monumental achievement (by far my favorite film of 2016) is somehow diminished because the Cannes jury didn’t see fit to give it a prize breaks my heart. He also told me that he and Smith had been talking about diversity all festival. The coalition is theoretical, but, man, would it be amazing.
