Cannes: the “Un certain regard” prize awarded to the French film “Les Pires”

Lhe “Un Certain Regard” prize went, Friday, May 27, to the French film The worst by Lise Akoka and Romane Gueret. The film chosen by the jury chaired by Valeria Golino tells of a wild casting in a city of Boulogne-sur-Mer (Pas-de-Calais). Between reality and fiction, the film, which will be released in theaters in France on November 12, required a long work of immersion and the meeting of hundreds of children. The two co-directors, Lise Akoka and Romane Gueret, both worked in the casting or coaching of children for the cinema, an experience which nourished the film. They had notably shot a web series for Arte, You prefer.

The first Pakistani film presented at Cannes, joyland by Saim Sadiq, walks away with the jury prize. The prize for directing went to Romanian Alexandru Belc for metronom.
