Cannes’ various juries revealed their picks at Sunday night’s closing bash, almost exclusively rewarding European endeavours. Having won the Palme d’Or with his last Cannes-selected film, The White Ribbon (2009), Michael Haneke made it two from two with Amour.
A couple non-European entries won prizes, otherwise it was an entirely European affair, reflecting the Euro-centric nature of the jurors and the selection of films in competition. The unofficial accompaniment to Cannes, Directors Fortnight, offered a broader international selection than the three official competitions.
