Cannes, Jul 18 (EFE/EPA).-France's Julia Ducournau made history here Saturday, becoming only the second woman ever to receive the top prize at the Cannes Film Festival as the 74th edition of the event drew to a close.But the official announcement of Ducournau's "Titane" as the recipient of the Palme d'Or was something of an anti-climax because the jury president, Spike Lee, let slip the identity of the winning film at the start of the ceremony.

DIRECTOR AND SCRIPTWRITER OF TITANE, WINNER OF PALME D'OR.- I believe and I hope that today's award was given only because of my film. I sincerely hope that it has nothing to do with my gender because I believe that gender does not define me as a filmmaker nor as a person. I am not only about my gender. I don't think so. I am the second woman to receive this award and I thought a lot about Jane Campion tonight. I wondered what it would be like for her to be the first. And I must say that the fact that I'm the second suggested that this is a movement in progress. I am the second so there will be the third, the fourth, the fifth.- It is never easy to be free. I believe that you have to fight all the time, no matter what happens, no matter what the circumstances. Freedom, unfortunately, is not something you acquired. And we are talking about the Cannes festival, of course, we are not talking about other things. I think freedom can only come from within. It is a struggle, a constant struggle.2. ASGHAR FARHADI, DIRECTOR OF GHAHREMAN, GRAND PRIX EX-AEQUO WINNER.- I am very happy. I was already so when I saw that I was going to be in the festival. I must say that I did not believe it would be possible at the beginning. I was going to be a jury in this edition. They had proposed it to me and when they proposed it I said no , I told them I had a film to present and I had a chance to do so. And to be able to discover it here together with the Cannes public has been a great honor.3. NADAV LAPID, DIRECTOR OF HA'BERECH,JURY PRIZE WINNER EX-AEQUO WINNER.- I think that in Israel there are many people who are convinced that everything that happens in the solar system is kind of against Israel, that the Cannes festival has been invented against Israel, that the film was invented to smear Israel, and that was the last goal of the Lumiére brothers. So I think we can calm down a bit.

One of the earth-shaking feature debuts in the history of cinema, Maurice Pialat's L'Enfance-nue [Naked-Childhood] provides a perspective on growing-up that rejects both sentimentality and modish cynicism. Its unflinching, but also warmly accommodating, outlook on childhood attracted François Truffaut to take on the role as co-producer of Pialat's film — which, ironically, exists as much as a response to Truffaut's own debut The 400 Blows as that film was to the 'cinema of childhood' that came before the New Wave. First-time actor Michel Tarrazon plays the young François, a provincial orphan whose destructive behaviour precipitates his relocation from the home of a long-term foster family to the care of a benevolent elderly couple. In the course of this transition, Pialat's film presents the turbulence of François's unmoored existence, and his explosive reactions to the contradictory emotions it engenders. This is the naked portrait of a soul's — and an entire society's — dysfunction, before the moment of reconciliation. L'Enfance-nue represents the ideal introduction to the films of Maurice Pialat — an artist whose work resides alongside that of Jean Eustache and Philippe Garrel at the summit of the post-New Wave French cinema. One discovers in his pictures a raw and complicated emotional core which, as in the films of John Cassavetes, reveals upon closer examination a remarkably rigorous visual aesthetic, and a facility of direction which lifts both seasoned actors and debutante amateurs to the level of greatness. Coupled here with Pialat's poetic and brilliant early short L'Amour existe [Love Exists, 1960], L'Enfance-nue is the first masterpiece of an artist whose work has had an incalculable influence on contemporary directors as diverse as Bruno Dumont, Olivier Assayas, Michael Haneke, and the Dardenne brothers, among others — and whose 2003 passing led Gilles Jacob, president of the Festival de Cannes, to declare: "Pialat is dead and we are all orphaned. French cinema is orphaned." The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present Maurice Pialat's 1968 film in a magnificent restored transfer for the first time on home video in the UK. The special edition DVD is available to pre-ordwer now and will be in stores from September 22 2008
