27 May Cannes 2023: ‘Anatomy of a Fall’ Takes Palme, ‘The Zone of Interest’ and ‘Fallen Leaves’ Take Other Prizes
Justine Triet became just the third female director to win the Palme D’Or with ‘Anatomy of a Fall’ taking Cannes’ top prize. Critical darling ‘The Zone of Interest’ was awarded with the second prize and we will very likely be seeing both films pop up again and again later in the year when awards season kicks into full gear. Alice Rohrwacher’s ‘La Chimera’ and Todd Haynes’ ‘May December’ left the Croisette without prizes while Aki Kaurismaki’s ‘Fallen Leaves’ won the Cannes Jury Prize.
