'Triangle of Sadness' wins Palme d'Or at Cannes Film Fest (CNBC)

Swedish director Ruben Ostlund's class warfare comedy "Triangle of Sadness" won the Palme d'Or at the 75th Cannes Film Festival on Saturday.

But their presence helped restore some of Cannes' glamour after the pandemic scaled-down the festival for the last two years. Saturday's closing ceremony brought to a close a Cannes that has attempted to fully resuscitate the annual France extravaganza which was canceled in 2020 by the pandemic and saw modest crowds last year. "We wanted after the screening (for people) to go out together and have something to talk about," said Ostlund. "All of us agree that the unique thing with cinema is that we're watching together. Ostlund had already won Cannes' top honor for his film "The Square" in 2017.

The film festival's top prize went to a brutal sendup of class politics directed by Ruben Ostlund, who also won in 2017 for his satire “The Square.”

The best actor prize was given to Song Kang-ho, the brilliant South Korean actor (“Parasite”), for his sensitive, soulful performance as a baby trafficker in “Broker,” the latest from the Japanese auteur Hirokazu Kore-eda. After accepting his award, Saleh dedicated his prize to young Egyptian filmmakers: “Raise your voices, and tell your stories.” “Close,” a critical and audience favorite about two 13-year-old boys whose friendship is tragically tested, drew warm applause from the Lumière audience.

The Square's Ruben Östlund wins his second Palme d'Or with ... (The A.V. Club)

The Force Majeure director was one of several big winners, including Park Chan-Wook, Song Kang-Ho, Claire Denis, and more at this year's Cannes.

EO, directed by Jerzy Skolimowski, and The Eight Mountains, directed by Felix Van Groeningen and Charlotte Vandermeersch, similarly shared this year’s Jury Prize. And despite getting warm receptions, neither David Cronenberg or James Gray—competing with Crimes Of The Future and Armageddon Time, respectively—took home awards this year. Critics have praised the film for Östlund’s characteristic skewering of the moral failings and social weaknesses of the world’s elite. Great news, film lovers: You no longer need to have your stopwatches out, anxiously measuring the exact length of each and every standing ovation, in order to know which films have had the best performance at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. Which is to say that the fest has now handed out its official list of prizes, including the venerable Palme d’Or, which this year went to Ruben Östlund’s Triangle Of Sadness.

This time when I was shooting, in order to create this sense of presence for the actors, I got everyone to stand around the camera and look at the actors, to give them their full attention. And I don’t want it to be so specific about why the different characters do what they do, I want to give the feeling that all men, and all women can identify with the situation. I try it out and look for when I really feel there’s a dilemma there for the actor, where you can see that they are struggling with their morals, ethics and expectations, expressing that in a believable and strong way. There’s the dilemma between what I want to do and what I feel that I have to do. If the line doesn’t work, we change the setup a little bit and see if it works then. And the cleaning lady is the only one who knows how to fish and how to make a fire. In Triangle of Sadness, for example, there’s a scene, the “bill scene,” where the male model and the female model are at a restaurant and the female model has said: ‘I’ll treat you.’ But when the bill comes, she doesn’t pick it up. A lot of the scenes in these three films are based on situations I have experienced myself. The male model is a bit on his way down and he is together with a female model on her way up. Then she said: we can split the bill if you want, you know, take out the calculator and so on, and there was so much shame for me in that situation. I decided the starting point of the film should be a male and a female model couple dealing with the fashion world and with being models. When I met her, I just wanted to hear everything about her work and the fashion industry and to get an insider’s perspective of that industry.
