From the show
Romanian director Cristian Mungiu has won the Palme d’Or for 'Fjord', a tense family drama starring Sebastian Stan and Renate Reinsve. In FRANCE 24’s special Cannes awards programme, Eve Jackson and critic Emma Jones break down all the major winners from the closing ceremony – from the Grand Prix for 'Minotaur' to the double acting prizes for 'All of a Sudden' and 'Coward'.
The conversation also explores how this year’s festival became dominated by stories of war, memory, political division and queer identity.
