Jeremy Strong quotes Ibsen to explain his jury thought process

The Cannes jury has filed in for a press conference to explain their choices

Jeremy Strong with a banger quote about what it’s like to serve on the Cannes jury: “It’s like CONCLAVE with champagne”

Why did the jury invent a special prize for Bi Gan’s RESURRECTION? “This is what I wanted as a president,” says Juliette Binoche. “We can propose certain things and then the jury says yes or no. The film was like an unidentified flying object, an amazing invention.”

Why did the jury give 2 prizes to THE SECRET AGENT? “That was our wish,” says Jeremy Strong, so succinctly that everyone in the room laughs

How did IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT win the Palme? “The film springs from a feeling of resistance, survival, which is absolutely necessary today,” says Binoche. “So we felt it was important to give this film the paramount award.”

Truly in a league of his own, such a singular person and actor! It's impossible not to admire his dedication and passion.

Preble Jefferson can see 5 seconds into the future. When government agencies become aware of his skill, he'll do whatever it takes to protect his family. “Calling this a thriller is a bit reductive...The most interesting novel I’ve read in a long time.” --JDC
