The Cannes Film Festival’s top jury prize has long been one of the most coveted awards in international cinema. Over decades of competition, the Palme has crowned instant classics like ROME OPEN CITY and TASTE OF CHERRY, recognized the mastery of auteurs like Ermanno Olmi and Mike Leigh, and thrust masterpieces from the Soviet Union (THE CRANES ARE FLYING), Thailand (UNCLE BOONMEE WHO CAN RECALL HIS PAST LIVES), and Romania (4 MONTHS, 3 WEEKS AND 2 DAYS) into the international spotlight. Take a stroll down the red carpet and revisit some of the festival’s most memorable past winners.
