Cannes Concludes / Final Critical Appraisal for Cannes / Interviews and Profiles from Cannes: Rasoulof

CANNES CONCLUDES




The 77th Cannes Film Festival came its conclusion Saturday with Sean Baker's Anora winning the Palme d'Or.

Here's the complete list of award winners:

Palme d’Or: “Anora,” Sean Baker
Grand Prix: “All We Imagine as Light,” Payal Kapadia
Director: Miguel Gomes, “Grand Tour”
Actor: Jesse Plemons, “Kinds of Kindness.”
Actresses: “Emilia Pérez”
Jury Prize: “Emilia Pérez”
Special Award (Prix Spécial): Mohammad Rasoulof, “The Seed of the Sacred Fig”
Screenplay: Coralie Fargeat, “The Substance”

Next Best Picture's Matt Neglia was all over Cannes this year and posted on X some serious Telluride speculation:

"Films I saw at #Cannes that I think could screen at Telluride:

Anora
The Apprentice
Bird
Emilia Perez
Limonov - The Ballad
Oh, Canada
Parthenope
The Seed Of The Sacred Fig"

All of these save for Limonov have been fairly consistently on my pre-Cannes TFF possibles list.  I am a little less bullish on both Oh, Canada and Parthenope post Cannes because of fairly weak critical response.
