The 65th Cannes Film Festival had its curtains down in quite a moist manner.....as the final day witnessed a heavy downpour.However, there wasn't any pause to the glories that could be recorded.On Sunday,Michael Haneke,the Austrian showman received the highest prize for the movie "Amour". The movie is reportedly,capable of shaking emotions and making a deep impact on the audience, more likely leaving them the question whether they have it in their relationship.The plot of the drama basically revolves around a couple who are in their 80's,and have led a substantial part of life together.Two established French actors,Jean Louis Trintingnant playing Georges and Emmanuelle Riva playing Anne have done a remarkable job. They play music teachers,with their daughter settled abroad with her family, they now have nobody but each other to depend on.Anne gets hit by a stroke and her body is partially paralyzed.It is then that the real bond of love comes to life and has to pass through the tests of time. Haneke's inspiration for the film has been a real life experience and also the deep felt urge to be with his wife throughout has been a strong driving force.Haneke has won the Palme earlier for "The White Ribbon".
