What film won the Grand Prix at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival?
Answer
Inside Llewyn Davis
What film won the Grand Prix at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival? Inside Llewyn Davis won the Grand Prix. The Coen brothers’ film received the festival’s second-highest competition prize at the 66th Cannes Film Festival, held in May 2013.
The film follows Llewyn Davis, a struggling folk singer navigating New York’s Greenwich Village folk scene in 1961. Oscar Isaac plays the title character, while the cast includes Carey Mulligan, Justin Timberlake, John Goodman, and Adam Driver. T Bone Burnett helped shape its carefully researched folk-music soundtrack.
A common mix-up is confusing the Grand Prix with the Palme d’Or, Cannes’ top award. The Palme d’Or went to Blue Is the Warmest Color in 2013. Inside Llewyn Davis also gets confused with the Jury Prize, but its official award was the Grand Prix. The film later became known for its atmospheric portrait of artistic frustration and for its use of traditional folk songs.
