Title: Palme d'Or? Palme D'OH!
Review: Those crazy Europeans. They suckered me again. Finally I realize that Europe's prestigious "Palme d'Or" award is not awarded based on artistic merit, but rather on political agenda. Take for example this years recipient, "Farenheit 9/11". I rest my case.While not as politically in-your-face as F911, "Underground" is very much a political commentary. To be honest, I agree with that commentary. But that doesn't change the fact that this is not such a great film. I've never seen such a good plot/theme wasted on such a lousy presentation. The characters are so 2-dimensional that you find yourself not caring about anyone. And if you don't care about the characters, the story becomes pointless.I give it 2 stars (instead of 1) because it was a good effort, and I'm willing to cut Emir Kusturica some slack because he did "Arizona Dream", an excellent film which is nothing like this one. My last words of advice: beware of any film Cannes praises!
