Justine Triet is the third woman to win the Palme d’Or in the 76 editions that the Cannes festival has been held. The actress Jane Fonda was in charge of presenting her with the award for her film ‘Anatomy of a Fall’ and the French filmmaker took the opportunity to launch a political message in her gratitude speech: “The march of cultural actions that the neoliberal government defends , is breaking the exceptional French culture”, criticized.
The Grand Jury Prize was won by one of the favourites, ‘the area of interest‘, by British director Jonathan Glazer, a feature film that narrates the daily life of a Nazi commander and his family, based on a novel by the writer Martin Amis, who died hours after its premiere in Cannes.
For his part, Trần Anh Hùng won the Best Director award; Merve Dizdar won Best Actress for ‘About Dry Grasses’ and Kōyi Yakusho won Best Actor for ‘Perfect Days’. An edition in which we have also been able to see Spanish productions, such as the medium-length film ‘Strange way of life’ by Pedro Almodóvar or the fiction film ‘Cerrar los ojos’, by Víctor Erice.
This year, the film festival, in addition to making us dream of red carpet looks, has stood out, according to critics, for the quality of the proposals in the official race.
