Reliving the Lumière Award Ceremony 2013
On Friday night, Quentin Tarantino was presented the Lumière Award by Uma Thurman, in the presence of Bertrand Tavernier and invited guests at the Amphitheater of the Lyon Conference Center.
Thousands of people united in standing ovation to deliver a titanic tribute of love and affection to a visibly very moved Quentin Tarantino. Emotions were running high around the hall, the bursts of joyful tears bouncing back with giggles all through the stalls.

Not 48 hours beforehand, we had heard from an official source that Uma Thurman was in Lyon and would be on hand to present the award to the director who blessed her with two of her career’s highlights. With the press still hot, the names begin to drop: Harvey Keitel, a kingpin in QT’s first film, Reservoir Dogs; Lawrence Bender, QT’s first and faithful producer, and Harvey Weinstein, legendary producer of Tarantino films since Pulp Fiction—known for his robust build as much as his robust temper.
At about 7:15pm, seats started filling up.
The extended family of the Lumière festival were all naturally in attendance: Bertrand Tavernier, Claude Brasseur, Jerry Schatzberg, Aure Attika, Richard Bohringer...Léa Drucker... Julie Ferrier... Laurent Gerra... Zoé Félix, Gilbert Melki, Vincent Perez, Ana Girardot, Marie Gillain, Françoise Fabian (absolute class)... gorgeous Emmanuelle Devos, Élodie Bouchez... Ludivine Sagnier.. Arielle Dombasle, loyal Lumière presence Clotilde Coureau, and Leila Bekhti, Manu Payet, Tahar Rahim, Virginie Effira and Mabrouk El Mechri, Michael Cimino, Christophe Lambert...
Minster of Culture and certified cinema buff Aurélie Filippetti was in attendance and we caught glimpses of discreet filmmaker Luc Dardenne and the talented artist, Alain Cavalier.
Tim Roth turned up, obviously, and kicked off the evening with a speech full of personal anecdotes and tributes dedicated to the director and writer of seven films, over the past 20 years.
Host Thierry Frémaux steered the course of a Lumière Award ceremony that will go down resonate in the memory of the public and festival for years to come… Harvey Keitel choked up, Tarantino flushed with the warmth of all the declarations of friendship and respect from all those who see the filmmaker as not only the most passionate cinephile, but also the one who, through his unconditional love and passion for all of cinema, somehow cleared a path open wide for their careers, free from restriction.

The Lyon audience and journalists were taken unawares by the arrival of a voluptuous, well, to die for, Mélanie Laurent, touched by the grace of the classic beauties. It was the first public appearance in some time for the actress, for whom Tarantino custom designed the role of a member of the French Resistance in Inglourious Basterds. She came to pay her respects just three weeks after the birth of her first child. Cutting to the chase, Mélanie Laurent bucked a speech for a song with a poignant and symbolic rendition of Bang Bang.
When Tarantino took to the stage he had a hard time keeping his emotions in check. “I don’t have words for how I feel- probably one of the first times this has happened to me,” he said. “ I never really had a family, but these people are my family. Their affection and their respect are all I ever wanted.”
“And then, there is VOUS,” he continued, to appreciative applause. “There’s the city of Lyon. And France… but especially Lyon… I don’t know where I would be if the mother and father of the Lumières brothers had never met… Probably at McDonald’s selling ‘Royale with Cheese,’” alluding to the classic joke from Pulp Fiction. Before concluding his speech with a hearty “Vive la cinema !!” which will resonate for a long time in the hearts of the festival, he added, “I accept this award in the name of all those who love the cinema more than life itself. It is an encouragement for me to continue to do better.”
