Two awards for ‘Emilia Pérez’, one of the most liked films in this edition of Cannes along with the winner of the Palme d’Or, a fun story about sex workers with a great performance by Mikey Madison.

Madison is Ani, a young erotic dancer and occasional escort who marries the son of a Russian oligarch. A chaotic story but also with an important social background that earned Baker the Palme d’Or, which he collected from George Lucas.

“This Palme d’Or is what I have been dreaming of for 40 years, I don’t know what I am going to do for the rest of my life,” said an emotional Baker, who assured that he will continue “fighting to keep cinema alive” and has dedicated the award to all sex workers in the world.

The Palme d’Or has been very well received, although the favorite was The seed of the sacred figby Mohammad Rasoulof, a harsh criticism of the lack of freedom in Iran by a filmmaker who has fled his country to avoid facing an eight-year prison sentence for the crime of “collusion with the intention of committing crimes against the security of the country” through his films and documentaries.

Rasoulof had to settle for the Special Jury Prize, which the director received excitedly and dedicated to the members of his team, “held back and under pressure by the secret services of the Islamic Republic.” “Do not allow the Islamic Republic to treat Iranians like this,” said the director.

The Grand Jury Prize, the second most important in the list of winners, went to All we imagine as lighta story of sorority by the Indian Payal Kapadia, the first in Cannes competition from this country in 30 years.

The best direction was considered that of the Portuguese Miguel Gomes for the delicate Grand Tour, a film that mixes fiction and documentary, black and white and color, to tell the past and present of Asia.

The one for best script goes to the Frenchwoman Coralie Fargeat, for The Substancea gore film that was well received at Cannes and with an outstanding performance by Demi Moore.

And best actor goes to the American Jesse Plemons, for Kind of Kindness, by Yorgos Lanthimos, three independent stories with which the Greek director returns to his twisted and stark universe.
