The Cannes selection of the film 'Hope' failed to materialize.

On the afternoon of the 23rd, the closing ceremony of the 79th Cannes International Film Festival was held. At the closing ceremony, the winners among this year's competition entries were announced.

'Hope' unfortunately did not win any awards.

Even until the closing ceremony, actors including director Na Hong-jin, Hwang Jung-min, Jo In-sung, and Jung Ho-yeon remained, but their failure to win added to the sense of disappointment.

'Hope' became the festival's hottest topic after its official screening on the 17th, changing the atmosphere of the Cannes Film Festival. While the film received significant attention for director Na Hong-jin's unique style, stunning visuals, and the appearance of new creatures, leading to a flood of diverse reviews, it could not enjoy the joy of winning an award.

'Hope' is a story that begins with 'Beom-seok', the head of the Pohang outpost located in the Demilitarized Zone, who learns from local youths that a tiger has appeared, prompting the entire village to go on high alert as he encounters an unbelievable reality. This is the first film from director Na Hong-jin in 10 years since 'The Wailing'. On the day of its world premiere official screening, 'Hope' received a seven-minute standing ovation from a packed Lumière Theater with over 2,500 audience members.

Meanwhile, 'Hope' is scheduled for release in July after undergoing additional post-production editing in Korea.
