The Grand Prix — basically the runner-up for the Palme — went to Nowegian director Joachim Trier’s family drama Sentimental Value, about a difficult filmmaker’s attempt to reconcile his estranged relationship with his actor daughter by casting her in his most personal film.
Little Sister star Nadia Melliti won the best actress prize.
Best actor honors went to Wagner Moura for The Secret Agent, in which he plays a father who disguises his identity in an attempt to evade assassination during Brazil’s military dictatorship.
Kleber Mendonça Filho won best director for the same film.
Best screenplay prize – Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne for Young Mothers.
The jury prize was split between Spanish director Olivier Laxe for Sirat and Sound of Falling from German helmer Mascha Schilinski, arguably the two most original voices in this year’s competition.
The jury also gave a special prize to Chinese director Bi Gan for Resurrection.
