Neon Raises Palme D’Or Winning Streak To Seven At Cannes With Sebastian Stan & Renate Reinsve Pic ‘Fjord’

U.S. theatrical distributor Neon continued to make history at Cannes tonight with its seventh straight Palme d’Or win for Christian Mungiu’s Fjord.

Fjord marks Mungiu’s English-language debut. In it, the co-stars play a mixed Romanian and Norwegian couple who move to the fjord village where the wife was born with their children. Their planned new life does not go to plan when they come up against a couple with a very different outlook on life. The pic received a 12-minute standing ovation at its world premiere.

Mungiu is the tenth director to win two Palme D’Ors.
