An Asian accent
Cannes 2010 demonstrated yet again why India lags a fair distance behind the East Asian nations as a genuine force in world cinema, writes Saibal Chatterjee

It was long overdue. An Asian film, a resolutely offbeat one at that, won the Palme d’Or (Golden Palm) at the 63rd Cannes Film Festival. The last time the world’s largest and most populous continent bagged the big prize was in 1997, when Abbas Kiarostami’s Taste of Cherry (Iran) and Shohei Imamura’s Unagi (The Eel) from Japan were declared joint winners.
