MOVIES - March 22, 1988

In what Hollywood trade papers described as one of the biggest upsets in British Film Academy history, “Jean De Florette,” a subtitled French film, was named best picture at Sunday night’s awards ceremony in London. Director Claude Berri’s rural epic--which stars Yves Montand and Gerard Depardieu--beat out Woody Allen’s “Radio Days,” “John Boorman’s “Hope and Glory” and Sir Richard Attenborough’s “Cry Freedom. “De Florette” also won in best adapted screenplay and best supporting actor (Daniel Auteuil) categories. Other winners: Oliver Stone, best director for “Platoon” (released in Britain last year); Sean Connery, best actor for “The Name of the Rose,” and Anne Bancroft, best actress for “84 Charing Cross Road.”
