Tang Yi – Palme d’or It's often said that women speak too loudly, but I wanted to raise my voice. You have to have faith in yourself and not be afraid of making mistakes. All the greats have made mistakes. Jasmin Tenucci – Special Mention from the Jury I was elated, this is such an honour. It's unimaginable for me, and it's made all the more moving...
Antoneta Alamat Kusijanović, represented by her co-screenwriter Frank Grazziano Simply being there in the room was a dream come true in itself. Even after having seen all the photographers, and having stepped outside to catch my breath, I still couldn't believe what I had there in my hand. This week has been a fairy-tale for Antoneta. Her film came...
Ryusuke Hamaguchi This award owes so much to the original work and the power of its characters. For me, what was important was taking the time to show how feelings come to blossom. The fluidity of the screenplay is crucial too, because in a film of this length, we needed to avoid weighing the audience down. The way in which the characters grow is w...
Leos Carax, represented by Sparks, who co-wrote the screenplay for Annette Ron Mael: Carax always has musical sequences in his films, and we had complete faith in him. We couldn't be happier with the result. We had ideas for scenes in our mind's eye, and this film was so much better than we could ever have imagined. Russell Mael : He's an incredibl...
Caleb Landry Jones When we finished the film, I had this feeling that we had really accomplished something. It was quite a new way of working. We then had a duty and responsibility to pull it all together to the very best of our abilities. It was wonderful to see how the public responded. I feel the film was understood.
Asghar Farhadi I write in a free-flowing way, putting down whatever springs to mind. I try to take the approach of a storyteller, weaving a narrative that doesn't bore my audience. I don't like to create barriers between members of the public, distinguishing between 'movie buffs' and 'the others'. I want everyone to approach the film in the same wa...
Nadav Lapid Everyone described my film as high-impact, like a punch to the gut, but it isn't a violent film, with tense scenes. It's just words, images that are fused to create a sense of shock, a slap to the face, a jolt. Every human being who goes to see my film will see a feature film full of rage, anger, and sadness, but a huge amount of intima...
Renate Reinsve It's a highly personal story, and yet we wanted to express a universal message. I feel very close to this character, I see something of myself in her. There are times when I feel like the worst person in the world, and things are always up in the air. It's very difficult to pinpoint who you are, and to stick to that for life. It's an...
Julia Ducournau I'm proud of myself. I hope the prize says something about my film, and not about my gender. My gender doesn't define me. As the second woman to win this award, Jane Campion was very much on my mind, and coming after her inspires me, it makes me feel I'm part of a movement on the rise. There will be a third, a fourth, a fifth. Being...
