Fjord's Double Edged Prize: What the Palme d'Or Win Says About the Film Industry's Shifting Politics The Palme d'Or, one of cinema's most esteemed honors, has been awarded to Cristian Mungiu for his latest film, Fjord.
This achievement marks a remarkable milestone in the career of the Romanian director, who becomes just the 10th filmmaker to win the award twice.
