Cannes 2022: “Triangle of Sadness”, Palme d’Or, and the rest of the winners

The jury of the 75th edition of the Festival awarded this Saturday evening the supreme award to Ruben Östlund for “Without filter” (“Triangle of Sadness”), which divided our critics. “Close” and “Stars at Noon” are ex aequo Grand Prix. An uneven track record, generous in quantity, but with major omissions.

The winners of the 75^e Cannes Film Festival was revealed on Saturday evening by the Vincent Lindon jury and aroused contrasting reactions. Here is the detail.

Palme d’or: “Triangle of Sadness – Without filter”

Without filter (Triangle of Sadness) > Ruben Östlund indeed puts his feet in the caviar to buy a good slice of ultra-rich. Half-shock, half-knock, the provocative event of this 75^e edition of the festival divides the editorial staff.
Awaiting release date.

Grand Prix tied: “Close” and “Stars at Noon”

Close > Léo and Rémi, 13, share everything. But ordinary homophobia ends up separating them. A touching melody but less convincing when it falls into tragedy.
Awaiting release date.

Stars at Noon > Preferring atmosphere to narration, and bodies to explanations, the French filmmaker revisits the adventure trill in vogue in the 80s. A fine exercise in style.
Shortly.

Best Director Award: Park Chan-wook, for “Decision to Leave”

Decision to Leave > South Korean director ofold boy signs a police investigation tinged with amorous obsession. A film of remarkable aesthetic beauty but lacking in breadth.
Released June 29, 2022.

Special price of 75^e anniversary of the Festival: the Dardenne brothers

Tori and Lokita > Great regulars on the Croisette, the Dardenne brothers present this year the ordeal of two Beninese minors who entered Belgium illegally. A desperate work which, for once, leaves little room for light.
Snettle on September 28, 2022.

Jury Prize ex aequo “Les Huit Montagnes” and “Hi-han”

The Eight Mountains > It is with a heart full of hope that we are going to see the first film by Felix Van Groeningen to enter the competition in the Official Selection. Result: an avalanche of good feelings.
Released December 21.

Hi Han > By recounting the tribulations of a little donkey abused by men, the Polish filmmaker asserts himself as a defender of the animal cause. And fascinates by the look full of contempt that he poses on the human being.
Release date unknown.

Best Actress Award: Zar Amir Ebrahimi

Nights of Mashhad > In 2001, a mason in the holy city of Mashhad murdered sixteen prostitutes in the name of Allah. Ali Abbasi, an Iranian filmmaker who lives in Denmark, has reconstructed this news item in an effective thriller that is too complacent about the spectacle of violence.
Released July 13, 2022.

Best Actor Award: Song Kang-ho

The Lucky Stars > Four years after his Palme d’or for A family matter, Hirokazu Kore-eda boards the ramshackle van of a duo of child traffickers. A story full of good feelings, which overflows a little.
Released on December 7, 2022.

Screenplay Award: Tarik Saleh

Boy from Heaven > Tarik Saleh, director of Confidential Cairo, once again denounces the excesses of Egyptian power in a spy thriller whose hero is a young student at the Islamic Al-Azhar University.
