The Cannes award for the film 'Hope' did not materialize. The Golden Palm went to director Cristian Mungiu's 'Fjord', which tells the story of a Romanian family.

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

The Golden Palm went to Romanian director Cristian Mungiu's 'Fjord'. 'Fjord' is a story about a Romanian family that moves to a Norwegian fjord village and gets entangled in allegations of child abuse and community conflict. The film received a standing ovation of over 10 minutes during its official screening at Cannes.

The Jury Prize (Grand Prix) went to Andrey Zvyagintsev for 'Minotaur', while the Best Director award was shared by Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi for 'The Black Ball' and Pavel Pavlikovský for 'Fatherland'.

'Hope' unfortunately did not win any award.

It is reported that director Na Hong-jin and the 'Hope' team were not contacted to attend the Cannes closing ceremony. The Cannes Film Festival usually contacts the works scheduled to win on the day of the closing ceremony, instructing them to attend, but this year, it was reported that they did not receive such contact.

Until the closing ceremony that day, 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 disappointment.

'Hope' changed the atmosphere of the Cannes Film Festival after its official screening on the 17th, rising as the festival's top anticipated film. It received great attention due to director Na Hong-jin's unique style, spectacular visuals, and the appearance of new creatures, leading to a flood of various evaluations of the film, but it could not enjoy the joy of winning an award.

'Hope' is a story that begins with 'Beom-seok', the manager of the Ho Pohang outpost located in the Demilitarized Zone, who hears from local youths that a tiger has appeared, putting the entire village on high alert as he encounters an unbelievable reality. This is the first film directed by Na Hong-jin in 10 years since 'The Wailing'.

'Hope' received a 7-minute standing ovation from the audience at the Lumière Theatre, which was packed with about 2,500 viewers on the day of its world premiere official screening.

Meanwhile, 'Hope' is scheduled to be released in July after undergoing additional post-production editing in Korea.
