The Palme d’Or, a timeless symbol of the Festival de Cannes, has been awarded to the best film in the Official Competition for over 60 years. The famous trophy has been garnered by Fellini, Coppola, Haneke and Kurosawa, amongst others, and is a jewellery marvel, hand-crafted in the Geneva workshops of the celebrated jewellers Chopard in Switzerland by no fewer than seven artisans, and requires over 40 hours of work.

Anatomy of a Fall
Winner 2023
Directed By Justine Triet The story begins when Samuel is found dead in the snow outside the isolated chalet where he lived with his wife Sandra, a German writer, and their partially-sighted 11-year-old son Daniel. An investigation leads to a conclusion of "suspicious death": it's impossible to know for sure whether he took his own life or was killed. Sandra is indicted, and we follow her trial which pulls the couple's relationship apart. Daniel is caught in the middle: between the trial and their home life, doubts take their toll on the mother-son relationship.
Triangle of Sadness
Winner 2022
Directed By Ruben Östlund In Ruben Östlund's wickedly funny Palme d'Or winner, social hierarchy is turned upside down, revealing the tawdry relationship between power and beauty. Celebrity model couple, Carl (Harris Dickinson) and Yaya (Charlbi Dean), are invited on a luxury cruise for the uber-rich, helmed by an unhinged boat captain (Woody Harrelson). What first appeared instagrammable ends catastrophically, leaving the survivors stranded on a desert island and fighting for survival.
Titane
Winner 2021
Directed By Julia Ducournau After nearly losing her life in a horrible car accident, Alexia has been living with a high-purity, medical-grade titanium alloy implant firmly fixed to her skull. And ten challenging years after her extensive cranioplasty, Alexia is now a silently violent go-go dancer at underground automotive shows. But life is unpredictable--instead of being put off by cars, Alexia has developed a bizarre fetishistic fascination with automobiles. In the meantime, as a spate of grisly homicides terrorises the city, fire chief Vincent unexpectedly reunites with his long-lost son, Adrien.
