Sean Baker’s Anora has won the Palme d’Or at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, which wrapped Saturday night (May 25).
The US comedy-drama stars Mikey Madison as the titular Anora, a sex worker who finds herself married to a Russian oligarch and must fend off his parents who are keen for an annulment. It marks Baker’s second time in Competition, following 2021’s Red Rocket.

People always say that the Palme d’Or is coveted but the big question is "Why whom?"
Not one winning film has ever been popular with the public and so, as an enterprise, the award is just fluff for rich nobodies needing an excuse to be noticed.

Pulp Fiction won in 1994 and was and still is very popular.

Pulp Fiction is the exception which proves the rule.
It's about time that happened more often.
