The Lumières International Press Awards, voted for by foreign press working in France, have crowned Audrey Diwan’s Happening as Best Film. Scroll down for the full list of winners.
It was also a good day for Leos Carax’s Annette, the offbeat musical starring Marion Cotillard, Adam Driver and a puppet, which opened Cannes last year. The movie picked up Best Director for Carax, Best Cinematography for Caroline Champetier and Best Music for Sparks duo Ron Mael and Russell Mael.
Further winners included Agathe Rousselle, who picked up best New Actor for Palme d’Or winner Titane, and Joachim Trier’s The Worst Person In The World, which took Best International Co-Production.
Happening, which also nabbed Best Actress for Anamaria Vartolomei, adds the Lumiere awards to its trophy cabinet after also scooping last year’s Golden Lion at Venice.
