The award ceremony was broadcast live at 8.30pm on France 2 and on the Cannes Film Festival YouTube channel.
The winner of the Palme d’Or
Gorgeous icon Jane Fonda presented the Cannes Film Festival’s most prestigious award, the Palme d’Or, to Justine Triet who wowed the jury with the film Anatomie d’une Chute. The film is a legal thriller that represents a change for the director from previous comedy films. The story is articulated around the labyrinth of truth.
The winner of the Grand Prix award
The zone of interest by Jonathan Glazer wins the second most important recognition of the Cannes Film Festival: the Grand Prix. Two legendary directors presented the award: Roger Corman together with the virtuoso Quentin Tarantino. The film is loosely based on the book of the same name by Martin Amis. A German family and other characters spend their daily lives within the so-called area of interest (Interessengebiet) of about 25 miles around the camp, deliberately blind to the horror that is taking place beyond the wall that divides them.
Jury Prize Winner
The Jury Prize was won by Les feuilles mortes by Aki Kaurismaki. To deliver it was the actor Orlando Bloom. The sentimental comedy narrates the encounter between the single Ansa, a shelf-stacker with a zero-hour contract in a supermarket, and the equally solitary worker Holappa, with alcoholism problems.
The winner of the Director’s Award
The Directing Award was won by Tran Anh Hung for The passion of Dodin Bouffant. Pete Docter, Creative Director of Pixar Studios awarded the accolade. The film is a French historical and dramatic film set in 1885 which tells the love story between a cook, played by Juliette Binoche, and the gourmand she works for, Mr. Dodin Bouffant who has the face of actor Benoit Magimel.
The winner of the Best Screenplay Award
The Best Screenplay Award was won by Sakamoto Yuji for Monsters by Kore-Eda Hirokazu. To deliver it was the president of the jury “Un Certain Regard”, the actor John C. Reilly.
