UPDATE, Update on the latest news …: Swedish filmmaker Ruben Ostlund directed one of his primary screams, now characteristic, at the Palace tonight, while his latest film, Triangle of Sadness, was crowned with the Palm of ‘Gold of the Cannes Film Festival. This is the second time Ostlund has won the prestigious award, after The Square in 2017.
Ostlund has joined tonight an elite group of filmmakers who have taken two Palms, including the Dardenne brothers, who tonight received a special 75th anniversary award for their Tori and Lokita.
Contrary to the wild and absurd closing ceremony of last year’s Cannes Film Festival, tonight’s act was very simple.
Triangle Of Sadness was acquired by Neon for North America earlier this week. In the Deadline review, Stephanie Bunbury called it “a mission statement about equality: that it doesn’t exist, that it can’t exist, that while calamity can cause the best dogs to fall, the new school year will replace them and behave in exactly the same way. ”
The winners also included the highly acclaimed Close by young Belgian filmmaker Lukas Dhont who drew at the Grand Prix with veteran Claire Denis and her Stars At Noon.
Also, above all, Korea came out well again. Park Chan-wook was named best director by Decision to Leave, while the first Korean film by Japanese veteran Hirokazu Kore-eda, Broker, won the Best Actor award for Parasite’s Song Kang-ho.
Before the awards ceremony, jury president Vincent Lindon made a remarkable shout when he suggested that the panels should be longer: “We need four more years!”, Said the beloved French actor among a great applause.
PREVIOUS: The 75th edition of the Cannes Film Festival comes to an end tonight, as the main awards, including the Palme d’Or, will soon be presented at the Palau. Scroll down to see the list of winners that is being updated as the prizes are announced.
This edition of the festival marked a return to normalcy after two years of Covid wreaking havoc with the event, canceling it in 2020 and moving it to July 2021.
This year there were 21 films in the competition, including those of high-profile leaders such as David Cronenberg (Crimes Of The Future) and James Gray (Armageddon Time), as well as Hirokazu Kore-eda (Broker), who won La Palma with Shoplifters of 2018. All were well received.
The rumor of tonight’s gongs is perhaps the highest in titles like Lukas Dhont’s Close, Park Chan-wook’s Decision To Leave, the two previous Palme winners, the Dardenne brothers with Tori And Lokita and Ruben Ostlund’s 2017 Palme Award Triangle Of Sadness.
While Triangle Of Sadness may have been a bit divisive, and Valeria Bruni Tedeschi’s Forever Young was largely excoriated, in general, the films in the competition found supporters during the last two weeks that were flooded with starry red carpets. with the sun.
High power out-of-competition premieres, such as Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis and Top Gun: Maverick, starring Tom Cruise, will not be eligible for awards tonight; the latter enjoyed a display of fireworks and French fighter jets taking off above the Palace; the film is currently shooting at the world box office.
The Cannes jury is headed this year by French actor Vincent Lindon, with the support of Rebecca Hall, Deepika Padukone, Noomi Rapace, Jasmine Trinca, Asghar Farhadi, Lady Ly, Jeff Nichols and Joachim Trier. Hopefully no one pulls out a Spike Lee and announces the winner of the Palme d’Or soon as was the case last year.
Annually, the result here in Cannes is anything but predictable, and Lindon’s jury could go in any direction. We’ll know more in a moment, so check back as we update the winners below:
