Who Will Win the 70th Anniversary Cannes Film Festival's Palme d'Or?
19 films in the Official Selection are in competition for the special 70th Anniversary Palme d'Or encrusted with 167 diamonds to be won today at the closing ceremony Sunday night in the Palais des Festival.
The winners will be selected by President of the Jury, Pedro Almodovar and the members; Jessica Chastain, Maren Ade, Will Smith, Agnes Jaoui, Park Chan-wook, Paolo Sorrentino, Fan Bingbing and Gabriel Yared. But many of the notable film critics have not been very excited or impressed by the films. In fact, some critics said Un Certain Regard Award winner “Lerd,” by Mohammad Rasoulof is better than some films in the main competition. The other winners announced yesterday included Best Director: Taylor Sheridan for his “Wind River”, Jury Prize won by Michel Franco for “April’s Daughter”, Jury Award for Best Actress won by Jasmine Trinca for “Fortunata” and Special Award for Poetry of Cinema won by Mathieu Amalric for “Barbara”.
