(AGI) Cannes, May 13 - Filmmaker brothers Joel and Ethan Coensaid they would be giving themselves over to the emotionalexperience of watching films as presidents of the jury of the68th Cannes Film Festival. "You just have to give yourself overto the emotional experience of watching a movie," said Ethan.When asked to lead the jury, they had thought it would be agreat opportunity and a great experience, although they werenot film critics and the top film would be the one with thegreatest jury consensus. The other members of the jury areactresses Rossy De Palma (frequent collaborator with thedirector Pedro Almodovar), Sophie Marceau, and Sienna Miller(fresh from Clint Eastwoods' American Sniper), Mali singer RokiTraore, directors Guillermo Del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth) andXavier Dolan (winner of the 2014 Jury Prize with the filmMommy) and actor Jake Gyllenhaal (Brokeback Mountain). SophieMarceau said jobs of this kind seldom come up, and the jurywould put all their energy into it. Xavier Dolan said theexperience would enrich him, and to watch films from all overthe world for 12 days was a great privilege. Jake Gyllenhaalsaid they would have the opportunity to watch many new filmsbefore anyone else and moreover, they were completely free.Additionally, he added the fact that actors were included inthe jury would lend a bit of sparkle. Otherwise, the directorswould simply exchange compliments. De Toro commented that thejury was there to say what they liked, not what was beautifulor ugly, and the films had to be treated with respect. Therewould be Clockwork Orange days and new Cinema Paradiso days. Hehoped to learn a great deal and find out more about the filmworld. The moderator of the press conference, Henri Be'har,asked whether the members of the jury had already met, whetherthey had settled on a method, and if they would watch the filmstogether. Gyllenhaal responded in jest by saying they had splitinto groups, one side with Joel and the other side with Ethan.With regard to the face of Ingrid Bergman, the icon of this2015 edition, Sophie Marceau said the magic of film was thatpeople stayed alive even when they had already gone. Del Torosaid he was passionate about Hitchcock, while Bergman'sstrength was in being both natural and a star simultaneously.. .
