The UK audience also applaused at the end of the film. But then they do 
like most of the French films (calling them "Arthouse") no matter how 
good or bad they are. I remember the poster of the film in the UK had a 
review from a French critic saying "The best film in Cannes and not 
taking part in the competition. Scandal!" or something similar. I know 
this is not a film newsgroup but I have to say the new Haneke film "Time 
of the Wolf" was definitely among the best off-competition films (if not 
the best).
