I found this one visually interesting but mostly too simplistic (how exactly does one man turn random birds on the sidewalk into fascists? Inquiring minds want to know...), although the ending was clever. Unfortunately, I think this is a case of critics (in this case, at Cannes) giving an award more because of the idea.
