Jury members in the 69th Cannes film festival defended their decision to name Jaclyn Jose as this year’s best actress winner for her performance in the Brillante Mendoza film “Ma’ Rosa.”
According to an article by Indie Wire, several critics disagreed with Jose’s win since they felt that her character in “Ma’ Rosa” was just a supporting role.
But jury member, veteran Hollywood actor Donald Sutherland, was quick to refute this.
“The critics were wrong. It's a big-time leading role,” Indie Wire quoted Sutherland as saying.
This was echoed by fellow jury member Arnaud Desplechin, who said Jose “is the film” and "she broke my heart."
Aside from Sutherland and Desplechin, the other members of the jury were George Miller, Kirsten Dunst, Valeria Golino, Mads Mikkelsen, Laszuo Nemes, Vanessa Paradis and Katayoon Shahabi.
Jose, who also appeared in Mendoza’s Cannes 2008 entry “Serbis,” is the first Filipino to receive the best actress award in the prestigious film festival.
Among those she was up against were Hollywood stars Charlize Theron and Kristen Stewart and French actresses Isabelle Hupert and Marion Cotillard.
During the photo call of the movie “Ma’ Rosa,” Jose told ABS-CBN News that she was not expecting to win since it was already a dream come true to be back in Cannes with her daughter, actress Andi Eigenmann, who also plays her daughter in the movie.
"I dreamt of this, that someday I'm coming back with my daughter…Hindi pa siya artista noon,” she said.
Aside from Jose, "Ma' Rosa" also stars Julio Diaz, Andi Eigenmann, Felix Roco, and Jomari Angeles.
The film tells the story of a poor Manila neighborhood stall holder who sells drugs on the side with her husband to make ends meet.
The couple gets arrested, leaving their four children to try and buy their parents' freedom from corrupt policemen. – with a report from Rose Eclarinal, ABS-CBN Europe News Bureau
