Cannes Film Festival winners are being announced right now on the Croisette. Keep refreshing…
The Palme D’or has gone to Sean Baker and his “Anora.” Baker, an American who works on a small budget, also directed the much admired “The Florida Project,” “red Rocket,” and “Tangerine.”
The Award for Best Director goes to MIGUEL GOMES for GRAND TOUR.
This means the Cannes jury has shunned Francis Ford Coppola and his $120 million bet, “Megalopolis.” The film still has no US distributor as well. Putting “Megalopolis” into competition was a mistake, of course. Last year, Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” was shown out of competition. Coppola’s legacy, besides his great films, is one of taking huge chances that don’t always work out.
So now what? Coppola will return to the US with a lot of foreign distribution deals but nothing at home, and no awards with which to promote the film. This is going to be tricky. But we always root for him!
