Audrey Tautou hosted Uma Thurman on the stage of the Grand Théâtre Lumière to award the Palme d’or to the best film among the 20 in Competition. The winner this year was La Vie d'Adele - Chapitre 1 & 2" (Blue is the Warmest Colour) by Abdellatif Kechiche. The film is a lesbian love story, and many consider it an appropriate choice especially in light of France's legalization of gay marriage this week.
Jérôme Salle’s Zulu starring Orlando Bloom and Forest Whitaker, was screened at the end of the ceremony.

Un Certain Regard 2013 presented in his competition 17 films hailing from 15 different countries. 6 of the works were first films.The Bling Ring directed by Sofia Coppola opened the program out of competition. Under the presidency of Thomas VINTERBERG (director - Denmark), the Jury was comprised of ZHANG Ziyi (actress - China), Ludivine SAGNIER (actress - France), Ilda SANTIAGO (Head of Festival do Rio - Brazil) and Enrique GONZALEZ MACHO (producer, distributor, exhibitor - Spain).
“Dear Thierry, dear Gilles Jacob, dear Cannes Film Festival,
Thank you for giving us the responsibility of choosing and celebrating films from a very powerful Certain Regard selection 2013.
It is a great honor for us, and the selection has been outstanding in many ways.
One of the finest achievements in filmmaking is to create unforgettable moments - moments that stay with us - as a collective memory - as a collective mirror of our existence.
Clay figures, extreme beauty, violence, homosexual blow jobs, systematic humiliation of the human kind, Léa Seydoux’s legs, great Brando imitations are just some of the unique images that will follow us for a while.
This selection was insistingly unsentimental, and still poetic. It was political, highly original, sometimes disturbing, diverse and first of all, very often - unforgettable.
I once again thank you Thierry, for sharing such a fine extract of the best movies around, with all of us.”
- Thomas VINTERBERG
