Sean Baker wins the Palme d’Or for his film Anora at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival. A plunge into the sulphurous world of paid sex and oligarchs, with a revelation: actress Mickey Madison.<\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On Saturday, May 25, the 77th Cannes Film Festival<\/strong> awarded the Palme d’Or to Anora by American director Sean Baker<\/strong>. A surprise<\/strong> for festival-goers, much to the satisfaction of some critics, signed by the unpredictable president of the jury and director of the film Barbie, Greta Gerwig<\/strong>. The award was presented by George Lucas, the director behind the Star Wars saga.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The film succeeds \u201cAnatomie d’une Chute\u201d by Justine Triet, which won the award last year.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The United States had not won the supreme award since Terrence Malick’s The Tree of Life<\/strong> in 2011.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A modern-day Cinderella<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

The story of Anora, a social comedy conceived as a thriller<\/strong>, follows the adventures of a sex worker – a kind of escort girl<\/strong> from New York’s Brooklyn district, played by American actress Mickey Madison.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

During a drunken evening in a nightclub, the young Russian-speaking American<\/strong> meets her Prince Charming in Vanya, the son of a Russian oligarch<\/strong>. After renting his services, the young man’s passion begins to burn brightly, and an impromptu wedding is arranged in Las Vegas<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

An Orthodox priest<\/strong>, close to the young man, disavows the union and informs his wealthy family of the situation<\/strong>. Furious, the parents rush to New York, determined to have the marriage annulled<\/strong>. The film becomes a comedy of the absurd, reminiscent of Martin Scorsese’s After Hours (1995).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Alternating between slums and ultra-luxury villas, the film is nonetheless luminous, with its protagonists fundamentally human.<\/strong><\/p>\n
