Cannes Film Festival 2022 has officially ended. BRB, crying!
What an experience Cannes Film Festival 2022 left us with. The splendid schedule continued for close to ten days.
As the film festival drew close to an end, there were many magnificent factors that contributed. This was the second time post-pandemic that the event was organized with great filmmakers whose presence was missed for the previous seasons.
Many movies were in the row to win Palme d’Or, which is the highest prize awarded during the event. Crimes of the Future placed itself alongside Broker and Stars at Noon to take the award home.
