We all know how it goes down… The Cannes press corps spend ten days collating, speculating and algorithmically predicting in the hope that they can offer the inside track on the final-day prize-giving. And every year, like some bout of forced amnesia, we forget that the jury are in a bubble, have not interacted with a single word of the vast reams of verbiage that were lovingly placed into the public domain, and have gone their own sweet way.
And that is how it should be, as it would be a tremendous bore if the consensus pick was always victorious. This year, Reuben Östlund and his jury were giving a vintage crop of films to adjudicate and, well, their task this year is certainly unenviable. One thing we can say, though, is that the chances of the Palme d’Or going to a duffer or some middling effort that all jurors liked but nobody loved are much slimmer than usual.
Below, without further ado, are all the prizes from the 2023 festival.
