French director Laurent Cantet dies
In 2008, the filmmaker won the Palme d’Or in Cannes. Now he has died after an illness.
The Cannes festival reacted with shock to the death of the director and screenwriter and praised his “coherent and humanistic work” with which he contributed to socially relevant cinema. The committed artist and dogged humanist Cantet had the deep conviction that cinema could change paths.
