A total of 22 films vied for the Palme d’Or, or Golden Palm, one of the most prestigious awards in cinema.
Finally, the win ended France’s long-running losing streak at the French city of Cannes.
The last time France emerged from the festival with top honours was more than a decade ago!
Screened during the final days of the competition, The Class is a riveting docu-drama with Cantet using real teachers and students from French schools to play out roles in a tough Parisian school.
