CANNES WINNERS
The 76th Cannes Film Festival came to a close with its awards presentation on Saturday night. Justine Triet's Anatomy of a Fall took the top prize, the Palme d'Or. Jonathan Glazer's The Zone of Interest took the Grand Prix, essentially the runner-up prize and Aki Kaurismaki's Fallen Leaves landed the Jury Prize, regarded as the third place prize.
Other awards went to:
Director: The Pot au Feu/Tran Anh Hung
Screenplay: Monster/Sakamoto Fuji
Actress: About Dry Grasses/Merve Dizdar
Actor: Perfect Days/Koji Yakusho
Molly Manning Walker's How to Have Sex won the top award in the Un Certain Regards section.
You could make a relatively good case for most of the prize winners making the jump from Cannes to Telluride.

Once again, connection issues have prevented access to Reini Urban's massive Cannes crtics compilation.
NEON AND PERFECT DAYS
Wim Wenders Perfect Days was taken by distributor NEON toward the end of the Cannes fest. The acquisition probably increases the chance that the film makes an appearance at Telluride in three months.
