From 'Parasite' to Jane Campion’s lyrical drama 'The Piano,' revisit some of the most memorable Palme d’Or winners in Cannes Film Festival history.
A soldier travels from Vietnam to Cambodia on a secret mission to assassinate a colonel who has gone rogue in Francis Ford Coppola’s electrifying war epic. It is unflinching in its depictions of the horrors of combat, zipping from napalm-strewn fields to jungles engulfed in flames and an airstrike set to Wagner’s. Beyond the set pieces, though, it’s a meditation on the absurdity of battle and the psychological scars it leaves behind.
In 16th-century Japan, the death of a feudal lord is covered up through the use of a double, a petty thief who bears an uncanny resemblance to him. Both characters are played with relish by Tatsuya Nakadai, in his penultimate collaboration with legendary director Akira Kurosawa. It’s a samurai epic that weaves together Shakespearean court intrigue and explosive battles, culminating in a heart-stopping scene in which the impostor finally lets his hubris get the better of him.
