L’Italia torna a casa dalla Croisette con un bel bilancio per questo Festival di Cannes 71. Nel 2018 la Palma d’oro è stata attribuita a “Un Affare di Famiglia” di Hirokazu Kore-eda. Ma il migliore attore è Marcello Fonte di «Dogman» di Matteo Garrone premiato da Roberto Benigni e il premio alla sceneggiatura va ad Alice Rohwacher per l’amatissimo «Lazzaro Felice». Asia Argento sul palco non ha risparmiato nessuno, rievocando un triste episodio con Weinstein proprio a Cannes nel 1997.
Prima di abbandonarsi a una special performance di Sting e Shaggy i “guidatori” di questa edizione 2018 del festival (Edouard Baer, Cate Blanchett, presidente di giuria) hanno annunciato i verdetti.
The event culminated on the Red Carpet, where the prizewinners and jury were treated to a live musical surprise by Sting and Shaggy!
