00:00The Cannes Film Festival awarded prizes to works that were far from being universally acclaimed.
00:04Unanimity, that's a hard word to say.
00:06I'm making a video a day about the Cannes Film Festival until Dailymotion invites me to the Festival
00:09from Cannes.
00:10And yes, maybe I'm dreaming, but you never know, they might not try anything.
00:13And tell me, because I still need to buy a suit.
00:16Taxi Driver won the Palme d'Or amidst boos.
00:19Cannes has crowned a masterpiece that not everyone was ready to accept.
00:22We often imagine that the Palme d'Or rewards a film that everyone immediately loves.
00:27But for Taxi Driver, it was the complete opposite.
00:28In 1976, Martin Scorsese's film arrived at Cannes with Robert De Niro.
00:32His character is extremely disturbing.
00:35He is a former soldier who is traumatized, completely isolated and who is gradually sinking into violence.
00:40And above all, the ending is extremely shocking.
00:42The staging is brutal; there is blood everywhere.
00:44In short, no Cannes frenzy.
00:45And in Cannes, the public is violently divided.
00:48Some already see it as an absolute masterpiece, others completely reject the film.
00:52And it continued all the way to the rankings.
00:54When Taxi Driver finally won the Palme d'Or,
00:56Producer Michael Phillips recounts an incredible scene.
01:00Part of the audience applauded standing up while another part still had the film.
01:04Let me know in the comments if you knew that.
01:06And most importantly, subscribe!
