Friday's "Tyson" party at the Greenhouse didn't get started until after midnight. ICM's Jeff Berg and Cannes fest topper Thierry Fremaux cooled their heels for over an hour until the ex-heavyweight champion turned up well after 1:30 a.m. Saturday. Mike Tyson found the ovation for the movie "a big surprise," he said. And as he walked up the red carpet, he said, "all the cameras were intimidating." Hard to imagine. He's a big guy with a Maori tattoo on his face.

Medal of Honor
Six years after his impressive feature debut, "Maria," Romanian-born, German-raised helmer Calin Peter Netzer returns with a less stygian riff on his native country's post-Ceausescu woes. Buoyed, like "Maria," by strong lead performances -- here, theater vet Victor Rebengiuc and actress Camelia Zorlescu -- "Medal of Honor" recalls typical Central Euro yarns, as a pensioner finds he's suddenly awarded a decoration for a WWII act of heroism he hardly remembers. Drily humorous pic takes a while to work its spell but, as the ironies mount, becomes thoroughly engaging. Further fest kudos and smallscreen tributes loom.
