AbstractThe 50th Cannes International Film Festival opened Asia dominating the headlines - for all the wrong reasons. Political tangles had given way to artistic success as the region swept some of the key awards and showed it can be a match for the rest when it comes to creativity and invention. Some films focused on social taboos, like Imamura Shohei's The Eel, Zhang Yuan's East Palace, West Palace and Wong Kar Wai's Happy Together.
