The raised fist of Maurice Pialat Cannes
The Golden Palm at the 40th Festival de Cannes is awarded to Under the Sun of Satan by Maurice Pialat. Pascal Mérigeau, his biographer, says the award: he "rises, even before his name and title of the film are spoken. He walks quietly joined Catherine Deneuve and Christopher Lambert who wait on the scene. Some whistles burst forth, very little indeed, perhaps a dozen. Obviously, Pialat does not hear applause, it is intended that the plovers, "If you do not love me, know that I do not like you either." And the same impulse, he raised his fist in victory, a gesture that some will feign or take for a finger. "
