The 77th Cannes Film Festival attracts to a shut Saturday with the presentation of its most sensible award, the Palme d’Or, alongside with an honorary tribute for George Lucas.
The final rite is ready to start at 6:45 p.m. native time, 12:45 p.m. U.S. Eastern time. It will be streamed survive Brut across the world and air on France 2 inside of France.
Any of the 22 movies that premiered in competition at Cannes are eligible for the Palme d’Or and different prizes, like the Grand Prix, easiest actress and easiest actor. Deciding all of them will be the nine-person jury presided over, this year, by Greta Gerwig.
The jury’s deliberations happen in secret, so the rest may just probably win. But a handful of flicks are noticed as the possibly contenders, amongst them Payal Kapadia’s “All We Imagine As Light,” Mohammad Rasoulof’s “The Seed of the Sacred Fig” and Sean Baker’s “Anora.”
“The Seed of the Sacred Fig,” about an Iranian family living through the country’s 2022 protests, was shot clandestinely in Iran and includes real videos from the demonstrations. Just ahead of its Cannes debut, Rasoulof, facing an eight-year prison sentence, fled Iran. He arrived in Cannes several days ago and, on the red carpet, held up photographs of two of his actors, Soheila Golestani and Missagh Zareh.
“All We Imagine As Light,” the first Indian film in competition in Cannes in 30 years, is about two nurses who forge a bond in modern Mumbai. It’s Kapadia’s second feature, following the documentary “A Night of Knowing Nothing.”
“Anora,” by the American filmmaker of “The Florida Project,” is about a Brooklyn sex worker who marries the son of a wealthy Russian oligarch, provoking a farcical rush to annul the marriage. The film’s star, Mikey Madison, gives one of the most widely hailed performances of the festival.
Other a lot mentioned entries come with the sci-fi epic “Megalopolis” from Francis Ford Coppola, a two-time winner of the Palme d’Or; Coralie Fargeat’s gory body-horror satire “The Substance,” starring Demi Moore; and Jacques Audiard’s “Emilia Perez,” a Spanish-language musical about a Mexican drug lord who transitions to a girl. Audiard prior to now gained the Palme for 2015’s “Dheepan.”
During the temporary awards rite, Lucas will be given an honorary Palme d’Or. During the pageant, Cannes gave the identical tribute to Meryl Streep and the Japanese anime factory Studio Ghibli.
Following the awards, the winner of the Palme will be screened for the target market in the Grand Théâtre Lumière.
