Director Julia Docorno receives Palme d’Or with Sharon Stone
“Titan”, directed by French director Julia Ducornu, won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, becoming the second woman to win first prize at one of the most prestigious film festivals.
Director Spike Lee, who chairs the jury, had a blunder that revealed Titan’s victory early in Saturday’s closing ceremony, before the final results were announced.
Screenings at the Cannes Film Festival were absent last year due to the spread of the Corona virus pandemic, only to return this year with stiff competition between participating works.

Rinat Rainsev, winner of the best actress
Norwegian actress Rinat Reinsev, an unsung face of cinema, won the award for best actress for her role in the film “The Worst Person in the World”.
Rainsev played Julie, a twenty-year-old who searches for her identity and hesitates between her romantic relationships.
American actor Cal Landry Jones won the award for best actor for the film “Netram”, which chronicles the events of the Port Arthur massacre in Australia in 1996.
“Nitram” director Justin Kurzel has been criticized in Australia for his account of the day that killed 35 people in one of the worst murders in the country’s history.
But its premiere drew criticism, and Variety said it showed “extreme respect for the dignity of victims.”
Aegans France described the film “Titan” as one of the wildest, exciting and violent films during festival screenings.

Spike Lee after falsely announcing winning movie الفيلم
Jury president Spike Lee, the first black director to head the festival jury, was wrong in announcing the name of the winning film early, rather than announcing the award for best actor.
Upon announcing the first prize winner, Spike Lee apologized for his mistake.
But he almost got it wrong and announced the victory of “Titan” again, in place of the actress Sharon Stone, who was chosen to announce the name of the film winner of the Palme d’Or.
Although it was revealed that her work had won the top prize, director Docorno still had tears in her eyes when it was officially announced.
Jane Campion was the first woman to win the Palme d’Or for “The Piano” in 1993.
The second prize was shared by Iranian director Asghar Farhadi – winner of two Oscars – for the film “Hero” and the Finnish Juho Kuosmanen for the film “Cabin No. 6”.
Japan’s Hamaguchi Ryosuke and Takamasa Oi won the award for best screenplay for “Drive My Car”.
