Just ask the good Park Chan-wook, director of some of the best films of the last thirty years and this year&#8217;s jury president at Cannes, who had to reluctantly award the Palme d&#8217;Or for Best Film. <strong>Is it because there was none worthy? No. Because it is an award he has never won<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A very funny director<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With sarcasm, the Korean director <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2026\/film\/news\/cannes-park-chan-wook-joke-palme-dor-jury-president-1236757779\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">has stated to Variety <\/a>that <strong>&#8220;to be completely honest, I didn&#8217;t want to award the Palme d&#8217;Or to any film because it&#8217;s an award that has never been given to me,&#8221; adding with a lot of humor &#8220;but I had no other choice.&#8221;<\/strong> For those who are not familiar with Park Chan-wook&#8217;s work, the joke is that his latest film is called <em>\uc5b4\uca54\uc218\uac00\uc5c6\ub2e4<\/em>.
