2/ The regional unbalance in the selection of the movie directors, very French on the other hand, with a complete shocking absence of Spanish directors! 3/ The only sub-Saharan movie is not even made by an African director. The main flaws of the movie, to me, are 1/ the length being limited to 3 minutes, the director has a time constriction that doesn't allow to do much, really, and the stories in the shorts resent it. Some of the others are still interesting an nice, some others a complete disappointment and waste of time. I also liked the emotion (without the corn) in "Darkness" by the Dardennes and "Anna" by IƱarritu. "Cinema around the corner" by Lelouch is very stylish, while "The Foundry" by Kaurismoki and "Dans le Noir" by Konchalovsky are great concepts an thought- provoking films. I found hilarious "Cinema Erotique" by Polanski. I loved two of the Asian ones, "Movie Night" by Yimour Zhang and "Zhanxiou Village" by Kaige Chen, which really reminded me of my childhood and my relation with movies they are beautifully shot and have special magical moments in them. As you can expect from a collection of short films, there are good bits, so-so bits, and bad bits. The shorts revolve about the emotional connection of the director with movies in general, certain movies in particular, or some movie theaters. Chacun son Cinema is a collection of 33 short films, 3-minute long each, made by renowned international directors, which was released in 2007 to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Cannes Film Festival.
