The list of winners of the 67th edition of the Cannes film festival and there are several films that aspire to the Palme d'Or and the rest of the awards of the contest.
Perhaps the film with the best chance of winning the prize is «Winter Sleep»By Nuri Bilge Ceylan, a filmmaker who has achieved great success at this festival, twice winner of the Grand Jury Prize and once of the best director award.
The only award that has resisted the Turkish filmmaker to date is the Palm of Gold and this year could be his after having been the great favorite in the betting before the beginning of the festival and confirmed as such after the screening of the film.
Another who could finally win the Palme d'Or after having been selected on numerous occasions for the official section of the Cannes Film Festival is Jean-Luc Godard. The one who was one of the precursors of the Nouvelle Vague now more than half a century ago has amazed everyone with «Adieu au langage«, Although perhaps he is the ideal one to receive the award for best director, which is also missing from their showcase.
The Dardenne brothers have also brought to the Croisette one of the best films of this year, «Two Days, One Night«I am hardly going to grant them what would be their third Palme d'Or, an achievement that no one has yet achieved, but it cannot be absent from this year's record. Marion Cotillard's work in this film could be rewarded with the best actress award.
Olivier Assayas He has also surprised with his new work «Clouds of Sils Maria«, So it is a strong candidate for the main awards of the contest.
«Mommy» of the precocious Xavier Dolan, which at the age of 25 attends the contest for the fourth time, is another of the films that could be awarded this year, Palme d'Or, Grand Prize of the Jury or best director could go to the young Canadian director. You could also receive the award for best acts Antoine-Olivier Pilon for this film.
Two other great contenders for the best actor award are Steve Carell by "foxcatcher" Y Timothy spall by "Mr. Turner»Two films that could also win some other award but that have stood out especially for their actors.
"Winter Sleep", "Deux jours, une nuit" and "Mommy" are also three great contenders for the award for best screenplay, although the award could go to the Russian "Leviathan»By Andrey Zvyagintsev or even to the great surprise of the festival«Wild tales»By Damián Szifrón.
