Titane, a wild body-horror thriller written and directed by Julia Ducournau, has won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. It makes Ducournau only the second female filmmaker to win the festival's top honour in its 74-year history.

In a gaffe during the ceremony on Saturday, jury president Spike Lee mistakenly announced the win ahead of time, causing confusion.

French filmmaker Ducournau did not come to the stage to accept the award until the formal announcement at the end of the ceremony.

However, the early giveaway didn't curb her shock at winning the gong. Catching her breath, she said: "I'm sorry, I keep shaking my head. "Is this real?

Cannes’ Palme d’Or Winner ‘Titane’ Sets October U.S. Release Date

What do you do if you’ve just won the top Palme d’Or prize and major critical acclaim at the Cannes Film Festival? If you’re the studio Neon, you give the film in question, the body horror “Titane,” a plum fall Oscar-worthy release date in the U.S., and you also hew it towards Halloween, given its darker and f*cked up tendencies. Neon has just announced that “Titane,” directed by acclaimed French filmmaker Julia Ducournau (“Raw“), has been given an October 1 release date in the U.S.

Will the Cannes Film Festival Matter for the Oscars This Year?

Clayton Davis What impact does the Palme d’Or really have on a film’s awards chances?In the 73 years of Cannes, there have only been three winners of the Palme d’Or and the Oscar for best picture – “The Lost Weekend” (1945), “Marty” (1955) and “Parasite” (2019), the latter two were unanimous wins among the jury.With “Titane,” Julia Ducournau became just the second female director to win the prestigious prize, and the first woman to achieve a solo win, as Jane Campion’s “The Piano” tied with Chen Kaige’s “Farewell My Concubine” in 1993.It’s uncertain that the film, which will be distributed by Neon, will be able to muster much Academy support in this dense and cinematically populated upcoming season.

Post-COVID Cannes Film Festival Rejects Notion That Cinema Must Return to ‘Normal’ (Opinion)

Peter Debruge Chief Film CriticFor all those hoping that the in-person 2021 edition of the Cannes Film Festival would mark a return to “normal,” the winner of this year’s Palme d’Or must have been a shocker — not the choice by Spike Lee’s jury (the choice was solid) so much as the movie itself: “Titane,” a radical queer take on the monster movie that bends the rules of genre, gender and gore.That this punk sensation was directed by a woman (only the second to win the Palme, after “The Piano” helmer Jane Campion, who tied for the prize in 1993) suggests that things really have changed during the turbulent year of the pandemic, as Cannes signaled many fresh possibilities — a diversity of style and storytellers alike — while underscoring the

It just may turn out to be that the one, maybe only, thing the 73rd Annual Cannes Film Festival may have in common with the Oscars is that it is most remembered for screwing up the presentation of the big winner. As you recall in 2017 Best Picture winners Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway were handed the wrong envelope and Dunaway blurted out the name of what turned out to be the wrong winner, La La Land and when a few moments later a frazzled – soon to be fired – accountant corrected that with the actual winner, Moonlight.
