The piece argues Fjord has strong Oscar potential as an English-language entry, Minotaur could pursue international submission, and All Of A Sudden faces tougher odds.

Mungiu nets a second Palme d’Or with Fjord at Cannes

Cristian Mungiu wins his second Palme d’Or at Cannes for Fjord, his English-language drama about a Romanian religious couple who relocate to Norway and are accused of child abuse, making him the 10th director to win twice. The festival’s top prizes also go to Andrey Zvyagintsev’s Minotaur (Grand Prix) and Valeska Grisebach’s The Dreamed Adventure (Jury Prize), with directing and acting honors awarded to pairs of filmmakers and performers. The event felt subdued with limited Hollywood presence; Fjord was picked up by Neon. An honorary Palme d’Or was given to Barbra Streisand via video, alongside Peter Jackson and John Travolta, and sidebars crowned Everytime (Un Certain Regard), Ben Imana (Camera d’Or) and La Gradiva (Critics Week).
