Deadline Critics Pick La Bola Negra as Cannes Palme d’Or Front-Runner
Deadline’s Cannes coverage gathers predictions from Pete Hammond and Damon Wise as the festival nears its finale. La Bola Negra is touted as the frontrunner for the Palme d’Or, with Fjord a strong candidate for the Grand Prize, and Fatherland seen as a likely Jury Prize winner. The critics diverge on other honors, flagging contenders such as The Dreamed Adventure, Coward, The Man I Love, Gentle Monster, Paper Tiger and Sheep in the Box, all reflecting Cannes’ notorious unpredictability under Park Chan-wook’s jury.
