It is hard for us to get into the heads of the jury members to know exactly what made them do it.Perhaps they simply loved it from the artistic standpoint - who knows? But all this is suspect today - when in the hightly charged anti-American atmosphere the movie with apparently strong anti-American tones scores high one has to wonder.
As we know, some European minds are not exactly sympathetic to the US.
