‘Titane’ wins Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival; Julia Ducournau becomes second female filmmaker to win top honor.
, making Ducournau just the second female filmmaker to win the festival’s top honor in its 74 year history.
After several false starts, Lee implored Sharon Stone to make the Palme d’Or announcement, explaining: “She’s not going to mess it up.” The problems started earlier when Lee was asked to say which prize would be awarded first. Instead, he announced the evening’s final prize, as fellow juror Mati Diop plunged her head into her hands and others rushed to stop him.
“The world is passion,” said Lee. “Everyone was passionate about a particular film they wanted and we worked it out.” Cannes’ closing ceremony capped 12 days of red-carpet premieres, regular COVID-19 testing for many attendees and the first major film festival to be held since the pandemic began in almost its usual form. With smaller crowds and mandated mask-wearing in theaters, Cannes pushed forward with an ambitious slate of global cinema. Last year’s Cannes was completely canceled by the pandemic.
