The French filmmaker, Justine Triet with her fourth feature film, "Anatomie d'une chute (Anatomy of a Fall)" received the Palme d'Or at the close of the 76th Cannes Film Festival. Triet becomes only the third female director to receive this top prize, following Jane Campion in 1993 for "The Piano" and Julia Ducournau (who served on this year's jury) for "Titane" two years ago. The film tells the story of Sandra (Sandra Hüller, best known for the 2016 comedy, "Toni Erdmann"), a German writer living quietly with her French husband (Swann Arlaud) and their young son (Milo Machado-Graner) in a remote town in the French Alps. After the husband is found dead near their home, the death is considered highly suspicious with Sandra becoming a suspect and must prove her innocence.
Jonathan Glazer with his first film in ten years, "The Zone of Interest" won the runner-up award, Grand Prix. The British director based his fourth feature loosely on the book by Martin Amis which examines a commandant of an Auschwitz concentration camp (Christian Friedel) and his wife (Sandra Hüller) as they try to create a comfortable life for their family in a house next to the camp. Tran Anh Hung won Best Director for his work in the French romantic-drama, "La Passion de Dodin Bouffant (The Pot-au-Feu)". Juliette Binoche and Benoît Magimel star in this 19th century set love story between a gourmet chef and the cook that works for him.
