If we handed over the Palme de la classe, Tilda Swinton would be well placed on the charts. The actress, seen in The French Dispatch by Wes Anderson, also presented the bewitching Memoria by Apichatpong Weerasethakul. Always impeccably dressed, the actress shared her admiration for the Thai director, who was gold webbed in 2010 for Uncle boonmee, who directs it alongside Jeanne Balibar. She plays a woman haunted by a strange noise in this sound and visual poem shot in Colombia. “I spoke cinema Spanish and had an experience that corresponded to the captivating universe of the film,” she said. The actress then enjoyed the honor of receiving the Palm Dog for
The Souvenir Part 2 by Joanna Hogg (film from the
Directors’ fortnight). She proudly displayed
one of the trophy necklaces and promised to hand them over to his three dogs who are his partners in the film.
Caleb Landry Jones, total revelation
We had seen him in small roles at Jim Jarmusch, Jordan Peele, Sean Baker, Brandon Cronenberg, Martin McDonagh and David Lynch… but Caleb Landry Jones gives the full measure of his talent in Nitram by Australian Justin Kurzel. At 31, the American actor plays a very very unbalanced young man in this brilliant thriller inspired by a news item that traumatized Australia in 1996.

“Being in Cannes seems strange to me to defend a man there that many consider a monster, even if I took care not to embody him thus, he confessed to 20 minutes. I hope that the public will not hate me too much… ”Be reassured, we like him a lot and it is not at all impossible that the jury also appreciates him as he is so amazing in this role. difficult.
Blanche Gardin is talking into the headset
She’s hilariously Blanche Gardin in France by Bruno Dumont. This tragicomic charge of journalists who are just as publicized as their subjects allows her to compose the role of assistant to an information star played by Léa Seydoux. After regretting the absence of her partner held away from Cannes by the Covid-19, the actress teased her director. “I had the impression of being Bruno Dumont’s puppet because he directs the actors by talking to them through an earpiece,
she said in a press conference. We sometimes have the impression of being a piece of decor on his set, but I love him because he delivers a critique of society that is never judgmental. “
Nabil Ayouch raps and does good
The film High and loud by Nabil Ayouch is one of our favorites for this 2021 edition. A rap teacher in a working-class district of Casablanca teaches his students to express their frustrations in music.
“Rap is a wonderful weapon for young people. It is a way of describing what she is going through and what she is feeling, ”he told the press conference. This joyful, serious and optimistic film introduces a host of young dynamic actors and gives faith in the future. He’s so invigorating that he should win over the jury as well.
