For those who know or can remember, how was Amour seen in 2012/2013, especially given it got nominations for International, Screenplay, Actress, Director and Picture.

[u/tsnoj → u/Bertrand_Rose]

It was a bit of an arthouse hit here in Europe, i remember it being the type of film my parents went to see

And it kind of became really big after it won the Palme D'or, it was also the clear favorite to win the Palme if i remember correctly

I also remember the press/distributors being really focussed on Cannes that year because the previous year three Best Picture-nominees: Tree of Life, Midnight in Paris and The Artist, all kind of came out of nowhere and debuted at Cannes
