Cannes 2023: the complete winners of the 76th edition of the festival

The eleven days of the Cannes marathon ended on Saturday evening with the traditional closing ceremony. Once again, the great scandals of the past have given way to petty annoyances. No trace of these few grievances has surfaced for the highlight of this annual meeting of world cinema. Le Figaro gives you a summary of all the prizes awarded at the 76th edition of the Cannes Film Festival.

Ruben Östlund presented the golden palm of the 2023 edition of the festival to Anatomy of a fall, by Justine Triet. "It's a historic turning point", congratulated Jane Fonda before the announcement of the winner, recalling the record presence of seven directors in official competition. “We have to make room for young filmmakers”, declared Justine Triet, in reference to the French cultural exception and after having violently charged the management of the “denied” pension reform and “the commodification of culture defended by “the “neoliberal government”. She is the third director, after Jane Campion and Julia Ducournau, to receive the festival's supreme prize.

It took Julia Ducournau to announce it, under the auspices of Roger Corman: The Zone of Interest by Jonathan Glazer was awarded the Grand Prize. Palme d'or from the editorial staff of Le Figaro, this chilling feature film adapts the novel by Martin Amis dedicated to Rudolf Höss, the commander of Auschwitz.

In the absence of director Aki Kaurismäki, his actors from Les Feuilles mortes won the jury prize. "Twist and shout!", launched Finnish actress Alma Pöysti, with joy on her lips. There was more animation on the stage, Saturday evening, than on the screen of this Finnish romantic comedy, a caustic and tender love story, which smells of alcohol, tobacco and melancholy.

The Japanese comedian Kōji Yakusho received from the hands of Denis Ménochet, the best actor award for his role as the headliner of Perfect Days, the new Wim Wenders. The actor embodies a model and solitary employee composed with meticulous impressionism by Kōji Yakusho.

The jury singled out Trần Anh Hùng for his staging of La Passion de Dodin Bouffant, the story of a love story in 19th century kitchens.

Turkish actress Merve Dizdar, starring in Dry Herbs, by Nuri Bilge Ceylan. Upon receiving her award, the actress dedicated her prize "to women who struggle", mentioning in passing "to know very well what it is to be a woman from this region of the world". A weight that helped her bring her character to life, an art teacher who had returned to her native village.

Filmmaker Hirokazu Kore-eda picked up the screenplay prize, in the absence of the winning scriptwriter, Yuji Sakamoto. The story of the film is about a bullied child whose suddenly different behavior challenges and then worries his mother.

The jury rewarded the "sensory experience" of The Tree of Golden Butterflies, the film by Thien Am Pham, the Vietnamese director's third film. His road-trip follows the journey of a young man responsible for recovering the body of his sister-in-law who died in Saigon in a motorcycle accident.

The prize for Best Short Film was awarded to 27, by Flóra Anna Buda, by filmmaker Ildikó Enyedi and actress Stacy Martin. A special mention was given to Fár by the Icelandic Gunnur Martinsdóttir Schlüter.

How to Have Sex, the first film by British filmmaker Molly Manning Walker, will now be able to give lessons in the art of winning the Un Certain Regard prize. Chaired by John C. Reilly, the selection jury crowned this feature film which tells the story of the party, the alcohol and, above all, a sexual assault. "I wanted to tell this story from a female point of view," said the award-winning director, aged just 29.

The Critics' Week jury awarded its prize to Tiger Stripes, by Malaysian filmmaker Amanda Nell Eu. The film is about a 12-year-old girl, the first in her class to experience the changes in her teenage body. And learn a terrible secret. Grave way. The director claimed an “irreverent and uncompromising” film.

And one more palm in the quiver of the Japanese Hirokazu Kore-eda. Winner of the jury prize at the 66th edition of the Cannes Film Festival, in 2013, for Tel père, tel fils; then a palme d'or in 2018 for Une Affaire de famille, the filmmaker was awarded this year by the Queer Palm for Monster. The award has been given since 2010 to films for their treatment of LGBT topics.

L'Œil d'or won two North African family films this year. The prize for best documentary was awarded by the Civil Society of Multimedia Authors (Scam) ex aequo to the Daughters of Olfa, by Kaouther Ben Hania (Tunisia) and to The Mother of All Lies, by Asmae El Moudir (Morocco) .

The jury of the International Federation of Cinematographic Press (Fipresci) crowned its favorite films in the official competition as well as parallel selections from Un Certain Regard and Critics' Week. Journalists were respectively won over by The Zone of Interest by Jonathan Glazer, The Settlers by Chilean Felipe Galvez, and Levante by Brazilian filmmaker Lillah Halla.

Messi finally rewarded for his work in the cinema! The dog, rather than the footballer, received the canine performance award for his role in Justine Triet's latest film. He plays a boarder collie named Snoop, who “impressed the jury during a dramatic scene in which he very convincingly simulated the disease”.
