Twelve days of cinema, with 21 films in competition but only one Palme d'Or: the top prize at this year's Cannes Film Festival went to Swedish director Ruben Östlund for his social satire "Triangle of Sadness". FRANCE 24 followed the festival from start to finish. We bring you the highlights of our coverage of this 75th edition.
"We were aiming to do a wild, entertaining movie where we had a content that we thought was important, where the audience should discuss afterwards. (...) I'm very very happy that the jury acknowledged that", says Swedish director Ruben Östlund, a surprise winner of the Palme d'Or at the 75th Cannes Film Festival, earning a place among the select group of directors who have won the festival's top prize twice.
