Vintage Cannes: 1997 – Sigourney Weaver, Ice Queen

After catching the attention of the international film circuit with a trio of powerful pictures firmly rooted in Taiwanese culture – Pushing Hands in 1991, The Wedding Banquet in 1992 and Eat Drink Man Woman in 1993 – director Ang Lee quickly did a turnaround and launched himself into a series of varied projects. First came his adaptation of Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility, and then, in 1997, another literary adaptation – the family drama The Ice Storm, writen by James Schamus from Rick Moody’s eponymous novel and an official selection, in competition, at Cannes that year. Sigourney Weaver, who plays a kind of suburban vixen in Storm, walked majestically on the montée des marches,  her co-star Kevin Kline by her side, and poor Ang Lee more than a little bit lost in the shuffle. Weaver would be nominated for a Golden Globe; in Cannes, Schamus received the prize for best screenplay, and Ice Storm was nominated for the Palme d’Or.
