PALME D’OR AWARDS 75th CANNES FESTIVAL
The 2022 Cannes Film Festival has come to an end. In its second year post-pandemic, the French film festival reunited with filmmakers like George Miller and David Cronenberg, who haven’t returned to the festival in several years. Cronenberg’s Crimes of the Future was one of the films in the competition alongside Stars at Noon, Broker, and Armageddon Time for the coveted Palme d’Or, the highest prize awarded at the festival. However, the most prominent award went to the film with the most onscreen vomit this season.
Presented by director Alfonso Cuarón and Cannes president Vincent Lindon, the winner of the Palme d’Or is the Swedish “Eat the Rich” comedy Triangle of Sadness, directed by Ruben Östlund. This marks Östlund’s second Palme d’Or as he won for The Square in 2017. The English-language satire stars Harris Dickinson and Charlbi Dean as a modeling and social-media influencer couple who go on a private cruise after Fashion Week.
