The 68th Cannes Film Festival wrapped up in France over the weekend, and there were surprises all round.
American actress Rooney Mara was named joint Best Actress, while French director Jacques Audiard’s Sri Lankan refugee drama Dheepan was given the Palme d’Or at the ceremony on Sunday.
The jury – led by Fargo directors Joel and Ethan Coen – gave the Best Actress gong to both Rooney Mara (half of the romantic pair of Todd Haynes‘ `50s lesbian drama Carol), AND Emmanuelle Bercot, the French star of the roller-coaster marriage drama My King.
