Cannes 2021: Julia Ducournau’s ’Titane’ wins Palme d’Or
Live MintJulia Ducournau's Titane, a wild body-horror thriller featuring sex with a car and a surprisingly tender heart, won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, making Ducournau just the second female filmmaker to win the festival’s top honor in its 74 year history. “This is the first film ever where a Cadillac impregnates a woman,” said Lee, who said he wanted to ask Ducournau what year the car was. “As I’m the second woman to receive this prize, I thought a lot about Jane Campion and how she felt when she won.” More women will come after her, Ducournau said. “There will be a third, there will be a fourth, there will be a fifth.” Cannes’ closing ceremony capped 12 days of red-carpet premieres, regular covid-19 testing for many attendees and the first major film festival to be held since the pandemic began in almost its usual form.
