Festival Circuit 2022

[ryannichols7]

The Best Actor winner is Song Kang Ho for Broker

easily the most popular win so far, judging from social media

[Pavel]

The Jury Prize is awarded to The Eight Mountains and Eo

[Pavel]

75th Anniversary Prize goes to the Dardennes for Tori and Lokita

[Pavel]

Best Director goes to Park Chan-wook for Decision to Leave

[Pavel]

Two films win the Grand Prix: Close (Lukas Dhont) and Stars at Noon (Claire Denis)

[Pavel]

The Denis win is pretty surprising

[ryannichols7]

is Cannes the new Oscars? that Denis movie was panned across the board, yet they're giving her a "legacy" win or whatever?? odd. obviously I'll have to see it for myself but the reception really wasn't convincing

can't believe Decision to Leave isn't winning

[Pavel]

And finally, the Palme d'Or winner — Triangle of Sadness

[swo17]

Hmmrmph... I personally thought The Square deserved it, but the expectation it attached to the film didn't do it any favors when everyone finally had a chance to see it. Looking forward to this either way!

[Never Cursed]

Those two picks for the Grand Prix are comically on-brand for this festival, you love/hate to see it

[Pavel]

Three NEON Palme winners in a row.
Also, I think the only person to win two Palmes in a shorter timespan is Haneke

[Never Cursed]

Claire Denis made the first (Grand Prix) acceptance speech, one so lengthy that the French press began to boo. Then she took the award on the podium, so when Lukas Dhont came up next, there was no prize for him to be photographed with. (Presenter Javier Bardem remedied the situation.)

Between that and Campion, it's a good time to be a guy who thinks women should remain silent

[Persona]

Between the STARS AT NOON recognition and CRIMES OF FUTURE snub, seems like Lindon had a pretty firm grip on his jury.

[Pavel]

Though oddly enough he said in his speech, from what I understood, that he expected to have more control as the president and that actually the other members of the jury are responsible for the Palme winner. I take it he didn't love Triangle of Sadness? Although he said that everyone was shocked or something by it, which could be a compliment or a refusal to say any more concrete praise

[swo17]

Hating on rich people is the Cannes version of Oscar bait

[domino harvey]

Ostlund announced that the theatrical cut of Triangle of Sadness will be “longer and richer”… the film is already 2 1/2 hours long!

[DarkImbecile]

Exiled Russian filmmakers Kantemir Balagov (Tesnota, Beanpole) and Kira Kovalenko (Unclenching the Fists) will serve as guest directors for the Telluride Film Festival this year
