Today marks the start of the Cannes Film Festival, widely considered one of film’s most elite and prestigious events. Despite some concerns about the festival’s secrecy, ballooning size, and demographics, Cannes is still the gold standard for festivals, and its top prize, the Palme d’Or, remains one of the highest awards a filmmaker can receive.
Appearing in competition at Cannes is an honor in itself. It’s also great for a film’s publicity: you might recognize some of last years entrants, including Amour, Holy Motors, Moonrise Kingdom, Cosmopolis, Killing Them Softly, and On the Road. This year holds some interesting surprises, including the next films from the Coen brothers and Drive director Nicolas Winding Refn.
Given Cannes’s storied seven-decade history, we have a large number of the festival’s winners. Read past the break for a full list of our Cannes-winning DVDs.
