Netflix brings together the Cannes winners and the Quentin Tarantino bags surprise trophy

Netflix and the Cannes Film Festival may disagree on the right of the streaming service to compete at the festival, but that has not stopped Netflix from acquiring two of this year's winners for its service.

The most important acquisition is that of Mati Diop Atlantics. The story of a perilous love in Dakar was in the running for the Palme d'Or and finally won the Grand Prix, the festival's second most prestigious prize. It is also the first film directed by a black woman to win a major prize at the festival.

The other title, I lost my body, won the Best Film Award in the "Festival of Independent International Critics" section and also won the Nespresso Grand Prize. The animation of Jeremy Clapin follows a severed hand as she flees a laboratory to join the young man to whom she belongs and the woman who has changed their lives.

In other news from the Cannes Prize, the critically acclaimed success of Quentin Tarantino Once upon a time in Hollywood failed to repeat the Palme d'Or pulp Fiction 25th anniversary of this film, but that did not stop the director from winning his own prize.

Tarantino has received the prestigious Palm Dog Award on behalf of Brandy the Pit Bull Terrier, who plays Brad Pitt's pet in his new film. The Palm Dog celebrates the best dog show of the festival and was awarded for the first time in 2001 by journalist Toby Rose. It has become a popular annual meeting in Cannes.

Tarantino received the award in person, although Brandy could not attend. The director said to the audience, "I must say that I am so honored to have it. I told everyone I did not know if we were going to win the Palme d'Or. I do not feel any rights. But I felt that I was in order to win the Palm Dog. I want to dedicate this to my wonderful actress Brandy. She brought the Palm Dog home to America.

Brandy joins previous winners, including Banjo and Poppy, from Ben Wheatley's comic horror lights, Uggie's L & # 39; artist and all the canine distribution of Dogman.
