Cannes Film Festival 2017 winners’ list in full

Swedish film 'The Square' took the Palme d'Or prize, while Sofia Coppola became only the second-ever female director to win 'Best Director'

Swedish satire The Square has triumphed at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival, picking up the Palme d’Or prize at last night’s ceremony (May 28).

The film, which was directed by Ruben Ostlund, beat 18 other competitors to claim the grand prize in what was the festival’s 70th year. Director Pedro Almodovar, who chaired the festival’s jury this year, said The Square was a rich and “completely contemporary” story about “the dictatorship of being politically correct.”

Elsewhere, Sofia Coppola became only the second-ever female director to win Cannes’ Best Director prize for her film The Beguiled, while Diane Kruger won Best Actress for her role in In The Fade.
