CANNES, France – Romanian filmmaker Cristian Mungiu claimed the prestigious Palme d’Or award at the Cannes Film Festival on Saturday for his latest work “Fjord.”
This marks Mungiu’s second victory at the festival’s highest honor, following his 2007 triumph with “4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days.”
The film features performances by Sebastian Stan and Renate Reinsve and explores the cultural tensions that arise when a devout family from Romania settles in a small Norwegian community.
