Cannes Film Festival Cristian Mungiu claimed his second Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival on Saturday night, as “Fjord” brought Neon its seventh consecutive top prize from the Croisette.
The win extends a run for the U.S. distributor that has reshaped the modern Cannes record books. Neon arrived at the 79th edition with pre-festival deals already in place on six competition titles – “All of a Sudden,” “Fjord,” “Hope,” “Paper Tiger,” “Sheep in the Box” and “The Unknown” – giving it six chances at continuing a streak that began with Bong Joon Ho’s “Parasite” in 2019 and also took in Julia Ducournau’s “Titane,” Ruben Östlund’s “Triangle of Sadness,” Justine Triet’s “Anatomy of a Fall,” Sean Baker’s “Anora” and Jafar Panahi’s “It Was Just an Accident.”
