During the Closing Ceremony, Italian
director Marco Bellochio received an Honorary Palme d’Or for his extraordinary
filmmaking career. The audience gave Bellochio a standing ovation—another of
the many very long standing ovations from the masked audiences of this
festival. Imagination and courage are the two essential ingredients to making
films, Bellochio said as he accepted his award. Jodie Foster was also awarded
an Honorary Palme d’Or for her amazing career during the Opening Ceremony.
The winner of the Palme d’Or 2021 becomes
the second female director to win the prize. Only four female directors, out of
the 24 films, were selected for Competition this year.
The Palme d’or, presented by Sharon Stone,
was awarded to Titane directed by Julia Ducournau. In winning, Ducournau makes
history for being the second woman to win the Palme d’Or in 74 years. Jane
Campion won the coveted prize in 1993, jointly with Chen Kaige.
