Cannes — “Blue Is the Warmest Color,” Abdellatif Kechiche’s sweeping and sexually explicit three-hour drama about a French teenage girl’s love affair with another woman, received the Palme d’Or from the jury of the 66th annual Cannes Film Festival on Sunday night. In an unprecedented move, the Steven Spielberg-led jury opted to recognize actresses Adele Exarchopoulos and Lea Seydoux along with the film.
The Grand Prix went to “Inside Llewyn Davis,” the Coen brothers’ warmly received film set against New York’s 1960s folk-music scene.
Mexican helmer Amat Escalante received the directing prize for “Heli,” a tough drama about a family torn apart by drug-related gang violence.
Berenice Bejo took the actress prize for her performance as a Parisian woman seeking a divorce from her Iranian husband in Asghar Farhadi’s “The Past.” The last time Bejo appeared in a Cannes competition entry was in 2011 with “The Artist,” for which she later received an Oscar nomination.
Bruce Dern drew the actor kudo for his performance as an aging husband and father in Alexander Payne’s black-and-white road movie “Nebraska.”
The jury prize was awarded to “Like Father, Like Son,” Japanese helmer Hirokazu Kore-eda’s delicate drama about two families who discover their sons were swapped at birth.
Chinese writer-director Jia Zhangke was given the screenplay prize for “A Touch of Sin,” his four-part drama based on real-life episodes of violence in contempo China.
