'Looking for Eric'

Ecumenical Jury:

Top prize: “Looking for Eric” by Ken Loach with special mention for Michael Haneke’s “The White Ribbon”

Anti-Award to “Antichrist” by Lars Von Trier

The jury called it “the most misogynist movie from the self-proclaimed biggest director in the world.”

That prompted festival director Thierry Fremaux, who is the final word on the selection, to tell AFP it was a “ridiculous decision that borders on a call for censorship, (it is) scandalous coming from an ‘ecumenical’ jury which what is more is headed by a film-maker.”

FIPRESCI (international critics):

A prize each to “The White Ribbon,” “Police, Adjective” and “Amreeka” by Cherien Dabis
