Erotic dancer comedy drama Anora wins top prize at Cannes FRANCE 24 English

Anora, a raw, highly explicit and often hilarious story about a New York erotic dancer, was awarded the Palme d Or at the 77th Cannes Film Festival on Saturday. One of the leading voices of American indie cinema, its director Sean Baker dedicated the film to all sex workers. A trans woman won best actress for the first time, as Karla Sofia Gascon took the award for the audacious musical Emilia Perez, in which she plays a Mexican narco boss who becomes a woman. And Star Wars creator George Lucas received an honorary Palme d Or from his old friend Francis Ford Coppola, who competed this year with the highly divisive Megalopolis. ,Cannes, cinema, Anora Subscribe to France 24 now: LIVE Watch FRANCE 24 English 24, 7 here: Read the latest International News and Top Stories: Like us on Facebook: Follow us on X
