Spike Lee on Palme d'Or winner Titane: 'I've seen a lot of films, but this is the first film ever where a Cadillac impregnated a woman'
CANNES — Spike Lee jumped the gun, announcing Palme d’Or winner “Titane” before the other prizes at theawards. The unplanned goof could have robbed the awards of their usual suspense, but instead, created a thrillingly unpredictable energy as presenters and attendees alike tried to imagine how to get the train back on track and what the jury president might do next … while holding their breath for the festival’s second-ever female Palme d’Or winner to accept her prize.
At that time, I was sure that all the films awarded must have been perfect because they were on the stage. And tonight, I’m on that same stage, but I know my film is not perfect — but I think no film is perfect in the eyes of the person who made it. You could even say mine is monstrous.
Leos Carax earned the director prize for “Annette,” a tragic musical about a celebrity couple whose clashing careers create rifts in their relationship.
