The Coen brothers & Cannes
"We feel good at the Festival de Cannes, because our work has always been recognised and we’ve developed a real relationship of confidence with the organisers.”
Joel Coen – May 2013
Laureates of the Palme d'or for Barton Fink in 1991, of three Awards for Best Screenplay (Barton Fink, Fargo in 1996, The Man Who Wasn’t There in 2001) and of a recent Grand Prix for Inside Llewyn Davis in 2013, Joel and Ethan Coen have presented nine films at the Festival de Cannes, as well as two sections from ensemble films. We look back on the essential Cannes journey of the 68th edition’s two Presidents, in images.
