French director Julia Ducorno won the Palme d'Or at the 74th Cannes Film Festival for the film "Titane", making her the second woman in the history of the festival to receive this prestigious award.

Before Julia Ducorno, the only woman to win the Palme d'Or was New Zealand-born Jane Campion, who won the 1993 award for The Piano.

Julia Ducorno's film has been described as one of the most shocking and controversial films screened at the Cannes Film Festival of all time. Namely, it is one of the most successful works that will compete this year in the main program of the most prestigious film festival in the world, which is being held this year in Cannes.

The award for best director went to Frenchman Leos Carax for "Anette".

The Grand Prix, the second most important award at the Palme d'Or Festival, was shared by Iranian director Asgar Farhadi and Finn Yuho Kuosmanen.

Ferhadi won the award for "A Hero," a narrative that deals with the moral dilemmas of a man who finds a bag full of money, and Kuosmanen's "Compartment No. 6" is the story of a woman traveling through the Soviet Union in the XNUMXs. years of the last century.

Antonet Alamat Kusianovic ќ's film "Murina" won the prestigious "Camera d'Or" award - an award given to the best debut film, and 31 films competed this year.

The Best Actor award went to Caleb Landry Jones for his role in the Australian film Nitram, and the actress Renote Revista won Best Actress for her role in Joachim Trier's Norwegian film The Worst Person In The World.

Just before the awards ceremony was announced, the chairman of the jury, American director Spike Lee, announced the winner prematurely by answering a reporter's question about the winners in French.

Last year the festival was not held due to a pandemic, so the organizers had their hands full with this year's selection because of the titles that remained from the previous year.
