Well done for making it all the way to the bottom! As a reward, know this: the Honorary Palme d’Or, which has previously been presented on an ad hoc basis but will be a regular feature of the Festival from here on in, will this year be awarded to Bernardo Bertolucci (Last Tango in Paris). Well done him.
