"February in a Small Town" directed by online China director Qiu Yang, which won the Palme d'Or Award for the short film. The picture comes from the online
appearance of the Cannes jury at the closing ceremony on the red carpet and awards ceremony. The picture comes from the Internet in the
early morning of this morning, Beijing time. The 70th Cannes International Film Festival closed, and each award was announced one by one. China director Qiu Yang's "February in a Small Town" won the Palme d'Or for the short film.
The Palme d'Or award went to "Freedom Square" directed by Swedish director Reuben Ostrund. This was the first time Reuben was shortlisted in the main competition. The film tells the story of contemporary art and the plight of the middle class and reveals the absurdity of reality. The jury's grand prize was awarded to Robin Campilho's "120 Strikes per Minute", and the result was announced with thunderous applause. These two films are among the high-scoring works in this year's magazine, and this award result is also expected.
Pedro Almodovar, chairman of the Cannes jury, said,"This was an extraordinary judging experience, but the award itself was a very unfair job. I don't think it is fair to put these films together. Although each judge had different opinions, they all wanted to persuade the other party. In the end, everyone balanced opinions and allocated awards in an attitude of mutual respect." It is worth mentioning that China director Qiu Yang won the Palme d'Or Award for Short Film at the Cannes Film Festival for his film "February in a Small Town." This is the first time a China film has won this honor. The film tells the story of a girl who disappeared after school and her mother searched for her beloved daughter. Qiu Yang, who received the trophy from Uma Thurman and Christian Mongi, said,"It's such a surprise."
In terms of acting, Diane Kruger won the best actress crown without any suspense for her excellent acting skills in "Out of Air". She said,"I put almost all my efforts into this movie, and I'm about to die." The more competitive best actor was won by Joaquin Phoenix. In "You've Never Been Here", he almost supported the entire play with his acting skills. Joaquin expressed surprise at the result and even wore canvas shoes on stage to accept the award."I originally thought I came here because I was 'beaten' by other male actors." Coinciding with the 70th anniversary of Cannes, this film festival has added a special 70th anniversary award, which was won by Nicole Kidman. This year, Nicole has four works that appeared in Cannes. Unfortunately, she was not present and only played the award speech. In the video, Will Smith also made an interesting imitation of her on the spot.
The best director award went to Sophia Coppola, director of "Under the Peony Flowers". This is probably the most controversial award in Cannes this year. Previously, foreign media commented that this film was a failed adaptation, and even concluded that this film did not have the possibility of winning, and this award also attracted a lot of discussion when it was opened. At the press conference, Fan Bingbing, one of the judges, said,"We hope more people will pay attention to female films and the power of women. This is a very good film." The best screenwriter award was awarded a "double yellow egg", which was shared by Oggs Lansmus for "Death of the Holy Deer" and Lynn Ram for "You were Never Here".
