10:57 p.m. : Palme d’Or winner Justine Triet reacted to Minister of Culture Rima Abdul Malak’s tweet, at the microphone of BFMTV. “It’s important to take stock of things. I am the product of this cultural exception. I am 44 years old, I benefited from this chance too. At the moment, I’m very interested in what will happen for the young people who arrive. I got closer to what I was feeling.”
10:41 p.m. : Justine Triet, Palme d’Or, evokes the “unanimous challenge to the pension reform”, “This challenge has been repressed, denied in a shocking way”. 6 months that all of France disputes. 6 months that we undergo the will of only one. Thank you ma’am for keeping your neck stiff. https://twitter.com/francetvcinema/status/1662543839591116803
10:41 p.m. : The first secretary of the Socialist Party, Olivier Faure, supports Justine Triet after her very committed speech when receiving her Palme d’Or.
10:28 p.m. : note that the great Portuguese filmmaker Manoel de Oliveira, who died at the age of 106 in 2015, produced many masterpieces when he was largely octogenarian then nonagenarian (No or the Vain Glory of Commanding, The Day of Despair, Val Abraham, Worry, The Peincipe of Uncertaintyetc)
10:27 p.m. : I have just found an article of the JDD which will give food for thought to our readers (because “you, the public service, you are sold”, it is NOT an argument, thank you). All in all, the budget of the Ministry of Culture has been on the rise since Emmanuel Macron came to power (+22% of budgetary credits to be distributed to the sector, i.e. approximately 4.2 billion, twice as much as in Germany and three times more than in Italy). During the Covid crisis, 14 billion in aid was even distributed to Culture.
10:21 p.m. : @Paul Tronay-Soffat Certainly, but hey, Clint Eastwood is currently making his last film – admittedly, at 92 years old – and Ken Loach has announced that he is hanging up after The Old Oakpresented at Cannes, at 86 Printemps 😉 Cinema conserves, you have to believe!
10:20 p.m. : If there is an environment where we don’t give a damn about retirement age, it is that of the cinema. Isn’t that Mr. Loach? Isn’t that Mr. Eastwood? And I spare you the list of actors in their 70s, 80s and even 90s. This speech made me laugh.
10:14 p.m. : But it’s normal that the TV channels take part in the cinema to a large extent! The paid channels earn a lot! Let’s admit it! The others have state subsidies. During the Covid Culture had a lot of money, the intermittent helped…
10:14 p.m. : I am happy to see in Cannes a speech worthy of Ken Loach. we have enough (and sometimes rightly) criticized the very Germanopratin side of many Franco-French films not to rejoice in having a little less lukewarm water! And I think many filmmakers would have preferred open theaters to expensive “whatever the cost”!
10:14 p.m. : Congratulations to Ms Triet who had the courage not to be content with the glamorous side of the Cannes Film Festival and introduced the reality of what millions of French people have been going through for months, whose very majority opposition to the pension reform has been denied by the government. Thanks to her
10:14 p.m. : Congratulations on this Palme d’or. However, I would have preferred the director to wash her dirty laundry with her family and not spit in the soup. Sorry, it’s cliché, but this ceremony was so beautiful, what a waste!
10:12 p.m. : During a previous controversy, provoked by an incendiary forum by producer Vincent Maraval in 2013, the president of the CNC at the time explained in The Express the philosophy of the French model: “We reward success and we pool risks. It’s a system that has allowed the emergence of new talents, like Maïwenn (“Polisse”), Valérie Donzelli (“War is declared”, “Hand in hand” ) or Michel Hazanavicius (“The Artist”).”
And casually, the share of French films in total admissions exceeds 40%, it’s a unique case in Europe.
10:09 p.m. : I share the reflection of the Minister of Culture. The whatever it takes given to culture in general during the Covid is an example of this! Go abroad and you will see what cinema and culture has received! Nothing nothing ! I experienced this in the summer of 2022. Museums, cinemas, the world of culture in these countries have suffered considerably. So let’s know how to admit even if we are not ok with the government!
10:09 p.m. : The debate continues to rage in the comments on the part of Justine Triet’s speech on the demolition of the French cultural model.
10:01 p.m. : Happy to see the Palme d’or awarded to Justine Triet, the 10th for France! But flabbergasted by his speech so unjust. This film could not have seen the light of day without our French film funding model, which allows for a diversity that is unique in the world. Let’s not forget that.
10:01 p.m. : Culture Minister Rima Abdul-Malak says to herself “flabbergasted” of Justine Triet’s speech at the Palme award ceremony.
10:05 p.m. : @ Between oneself shabby Again, it’s simplistic to say that. There are mechanisms that oblige TV channels to finance cinema by devoting a percentage of their revenue to it, there is a system of aid to help with creation, but when you look at the detailed resources of French cinema in this article from Le Monde, it is also not a “whatever it takes” cultural.
9:59 p.m. : We can always count on French cinema stuffed with public money to live up to its reputation. Cheer
9:53 p.m. : Very brave speech! Cheer
9:53 p.m. : Disappointed that the Palme d’Or narrowly escapes Jonathan Glazer. Even greater disappointment with this position taken by Justine Triet. Or how to “spit in the soup”…
9:52 p.m. : @Perro Bueno If I believe this table of film financing published in Le Figaro using data from the CNC, it is the producers and the TV channels that bring in the bulk of the money for French cinema.
9:48 p.m. : And here we go again, in front of the whole world this time (after the Cesars) in a typically French low-level politicization against a government that pours millions on culture. What a shame for French cinema. And zero glamor in Cannes
9:46 p.m. : For me, as for millions of French people, cinema is many things but certainly not political, with the exception of a handful of films that do not appeal to me. Cinema is above all a distraction, sometimes a comedy or a tragedy, other styles still. I like cinema when it’s beautiful, I don’t like it or less when it pretends to make us question ourselves or society.
9:45 p.m. : Very happy for Justine Triet, a second woman in 3 years, the proof that things are FINALLY moving and that we recognize the work of the directors! I recommend his film “Victoria” with Virginie Efira
9:45 p.m. : If you missed it, here is Justine Triet’s very committed speech against pension reform and politics “neoliberal” of the government in matters of culture.
9:43 p.m. : @Ricou33 Can you imagine that Ken Loach’s second webbed film, Me Daniel Blake, launched a national debate on the distribution of welfare benefits between Labor and the Conservatives. Cinema can move the lines, there are many examples, including films that won awards at Cannes (Nativeremember).
It would also be simplistic to say that the films selected for Cannes are only contemplative Uzbek films filmed in sequence. The good Ken Loach, to use this example, are close to a million spectators. Other more commercial productions crash at the box office at a lower level.
9:41 p.m. : That’s it: no new palme d’or for Ken Loach. In any case, these films speak only to themselves Fortunately, the cinema does not live on Cannes films
9:35 p.m. : Bravo bravo bravo to all those who are NOT silent. well done madam
9:35 p.m. : Very good to be in tune with the social movements that cross our daily lives. Cinema is political.
9:34 p.m. : Congratulations Justine for this Palme and this speech. The Battle of Solferino was already very political.
9:34 p.m. : I dont share this point of view. It’s as brave as it is welcome. Art is not outside society
9:34 p.m. : And here is the trailer for the film which will be released in theaters this summer.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6toqRpPY1LE
9:43 p.m. : Here is the review of our culture department, in a few words: “a great trial film”. “What seems to be the expected course of a reconstituted trial is energized by a writing that constantly revives the action. Justine Triet also has the intelligence to get us out of the courtroom, during more intimate scenes that air the story.”
It is to be read here.

9:31 p.m. : Congratulation!! But I stopped listening to her speech when she started to veer off into retirement. Damage
9:31 p.m. : Shame on this politicization!
9:31 p.m. : Incongruous to put pension reform back in the middle
9:30 p.m. : The music of Saint-Saëns’ “Carnival of the Animals” interrupts his speech, which boos part of the room.
9:30 p.m. : “I dedicate this prize to all the young directors, to those who can’t manage to shoot and for whom we have to make room, the same place that I took 15 years ago.”
9:45 p.m. : “This year, the country has been crossed by a historic, unanimous protest against the pension reform”dispute that “has been shockingly denied by the authorities”, denounces Justine Triet at the microphone, acclaimed by the room. She also criticizes the approach “neoliberal government” “which is breaking the French cultural exception.”
9:28 p.m. : “I first wanted to make a series”slips Justine Triet who also adds that she did not expect to be crowned at all.
9:27 p.m. : If you want to know more about this film, I recommend the topic dedicated to it by my comrades from Brut.
9:26 p.m. : Girl power ❤️
9:25 p.m. : Well done Justine Triet! What a triumph! I can’t wait to see his movie
9:25 p.m. : Note the female interpreter of the Grand Jury Prize and the Palme d’Or, the German actress who deserved to have the prize for female interpretation.
9:25 p.m. : Long live women filmmakers!
9:25 p.m. : Waouhhhhh! Not chauvinistic at all but so proud of our French talents. Bravooooo
9:23 p.m. : The French movie Anatomy of a fall by Justine Triet wins the Palme d’Or! It is the 10th Palme tricolor, and the third won by a woman after Jane Campion and Julia Ducournau.
9:20 p.m. : The Grand Prize is awarded to Area of Interest by Jonathan Glazer, who was the favorite for the Palme with Anatomy of a fall by the Frenchwoman Justine Triet.
9:17 p.m. : The Grand Prize is awarded by Quentin Tarantino, a regular at the place, and Roger Corman, the pope of cinema twice broke, who receives a long standing ovation, at 97 years old. It goes without saying that none of his films have ever been selected for Cannes.
9:13 p.m. : Franco-Vietnamese Tran Anh-Hung won the Best Director Award for The Passion of Dodin Bouffant, an ode to French cuisine and pot-au-feu. His international title is Tea Pot au feu. Enjoy your food !
First tricolor award of the evening.
