The film follows the seven leaders of the world’s richest liberal democracies at the annual G7 summit after they get lost in the woods and face increasing danger.
It has been held annually since 1946 except in 1948 and 1950, when it was canceled due to lack of funds.
The festival is known for its carefully curated program of films that achieved Oscar glory or launched the careers of directors like Quentin Tarantino.
Cannes’ top prize is the Palme d’Or, or Palme d’Or, whose previous winners include Taxi Driver, Apocalypse Now, Pulp Fiction, The Pianist and Parasite.
Jane Campion became the first director to win in 1993 with The Piano, followed by a gap of almost three decades until Julia Ducournau received the award for Titane in 2021.
Justine Triet became the third director to win the award last year with Anatomy of a Fall.
There is also an honorary Palme d’Or, which is awarded in recognition of notable works, including Harrison Ford, Jane Fonda and Clint Eastwood.
