Since its inception 77 years ago, the Palme d’Or has been one of the film industry’s highest honors, bestowed upon some of the greatest auteurs in history. Ahead of this year’s festival, we revisit 13 previous winners, from Federico Fellini’s exuberant masterpiece “La Dolce Vita” to Julia Ducournau’s nerve-jangling thriller “Titane”. These films showcase the Palme d’Or’s global outlook and its commitment to rewarding bold and socially relevant cinema.
