Only a few hours and the list of this 75th edition of the Cannes Festival will be unveiled.
What predictions for this year?
Who will win this 75th anniversary golden palm?
After the surprise of the 74th edition, with a palm of gold awarded to the film Titanium From Julia Ducournau, it has become very difficult to make predictions.
It is obvious that in Cannes, the public and a large part of the critics would award this palm of gold to the film Closed by Lukas Dhont. A very strong and very moving film, which tells a young teenager who discovers the gaze of others, masculinity and mourning.
Leila’s Brothers From Saeed Roustaee could also leave with this famous trophy. Leila’s Brothersthis criticism of Iranian society through a family drama, a hypocritical society, a fight between retrograde and outdated traditions and people who want to eat and live with dignity.
Some also think of Triangle of Sadness by Ruben Östlund, who in 2017 won the Palme d’Or with his film The Square. In his new film, a critical acerbic of the rich of our time, of “influencers”, to arms sellers, including the various speculators.
We also talk aboutArmageddon Time of James Gray or even Eo by Jerzy Skolimowski.
Would the jury, chaired by Vincent Lindon, of the same opinion? Only a few hours more and the jury will raise the veil!
