Later today, we’ll find out what’s taking home the Palme d’Or at the 76th Cannes Film Festival. Last night, however, the Un Certain Regard Prize was handed out. The prize went to How to Have Sex, while a few other movies were honored in the sidebar. You can see the rest below, but make sure to stay tuned for the In Competition awards later.
Here are the Cannes awards so far:
Un Certain Regard Prize: “How to Have Sex,” Molly Manning Walker
Jury Prize: “Hounds,” Kamal Lazraq
Best Director: “The Mother of All Lies,” Asmae El Moudir
Freedom Prize: “Goodbye Julia,” Mohamed Kordofani
Ensemble Prize: “The Buriti Flower,” João Salaviza, Renée Nader Messora, cast and crew
New Voice Prize: “Omen,” Baloji
Un Certain Regard sometimes gets an unfortunate reputation as “the undercard” or “the kids’ table” of the Cannes Film Festival, but I’ve discovered several of their entries being superior to most, and sometimes even all, of the Main Competition. Looking forward to seeing How to Have Sex.
