Cannes '09 Winners Announced

The winners at the Cannes Film Festival have been announced, and, as usual, the winners' list is filled with movies you likely will never see in your life (apart from “Inglorious Basterds” and maybe "Antichrist").

If anyone sees any movie on this list outside of those two, I would honestly be interested in your take on the movie.
