Cannes 2023 last day witnessed the closing ceremony and awards night with the Palme d'Or being won by Anatomie D'Une Chute for Justine Triet!
As the 76th Cannes Film Festival came to a close after 10 days of film screenings and drop-dead gorgeous red-carpet looks, the final winners were announced. The world-renowned film festival had 21 films with 21 filmmakers that were part of the main competition. But alas had only 1 Palme d'Or to give away and considering the fierce competition, everyone was eager to know who it would go to. The French Riviera shone the brightest in celebration of cinema with all the jury members, filmmakers, artists, and so many more holding their breath for the unfolding of Cannes 2023 last day!
This year the festival theme was “Back to the future of Cinema”, and 7 female filmmakers were in competition for the Palme d'Or. We saw many of the big leagues and global celebrities like Ken Loach to Martin Scorsese coming back to this prestigious festival. But to everyone's surprise, Justine Triet, the third woman in Cannes history to won a Palme d'Or for her movie Anatomy of a Fall.
