Rendez-Vous films do well at the 41st Césars.

ROD PARADOT RECEIVED 'MEILLEUR ESPOIR MASCULIN'
They were awarded at the Chatelet in Paris yesterday (Fri. 26 Feb. 2016) and are relevant to this site: most of the films and all the most awarded ones -- the top films -- have been reviewed on Filmleaf. And Fatima, just reviewed here as part of the NYC Rendez-Vous with French Cinema at Lincoln Center, was the surprise winner of the Best Film award. Other contenders for Best Film were Dheepan, My King, and Standing Tall -- all in this year's Rendez-Vous. My King and Standing Tall were in the running for Best Director, though Desplechin won for My Golden Days -- but we covered that in the NYFF! Vincent Lindon won Best Actor for The Measure of a Man, also a NYFF film.
In the Most Promising (Meilleur Espoir) Male and Female categories, Rendez-Vous selections again shone. They went to Rod Paradot for Standing tall/Le Tête haute and Zita Hanrot who played Nesrine, the daughter, in Fatima.
The Best Actress award went to Catherine Frot for Maguerite, which has not come here yet (it's coming 11 Mar., Bay Area 1 Apr.). I reviewed it in my Paris Movie Journal after seeing it at the now closed historic Cinema La Pagode.
It's amazing that Rod Paradot, this 18-year-old kid who was plucked out of a technical high school where he was trainng to be a carpenter, won a César for his first appearance in a film. France is watching Rod's emotional acceptance speech. As so often happens it was posted by somebody , then blocked for "copyright reasons" on YouTube but you can maybe watch it HERE (http://www.lesinrocks.com/inrocks.tv/cesar-2016-le-discours-bouleversant-de-rod-paradot-qui-remercie-sa-famille-et-sa-cpe/) or HERE (http://www.huffingtonpost.fr/2016/02/26/rod-paradot-cesar-2016-la-tete-haute-meilleur-espoir-masculin_n_9331490.html).
