JOYLAND Takes Cannes Jury Prize (Un Certain Regard)
Cannes Un Certain Regard Winners 2022: ‘The Worst Ones’ and ‘Joyland’ Take Top Prizes
‘The Worst Ones,’ Lise Akoka and Romane Gueret’s French movie about a film crew shooting in a working-class town, took the top prize, while ‘Joyland,’ Saim Sadiq’s Pakistani transgender love story, won the Jury Prize. Alexandru Belc won Best Director for “Metronom,” while Vicky Krieps and Adam Bessa shared the honor for Best Performance for their roles in “Corsage” and “Harka,” respectively. Maha Haj won Best Screenplay for “Mediterranean Fever,” and Lola Quivoron’s “Rodeo” won the Coup de Coeur award. If these winners are any indicator of what to expect from the Main Competition, it should be a very interesting weekend on the Croisette.
