Cannes Film Festival
1980
1978
The 32nd Cannes Film Festival was held from 10 to 24 May 1979. The Palme d'Or went to Apocalypse Now by Francis Ford Coppola, which was screened as a work in progress, and Die Blechtrommel (The Tin Drum) by Volker Schlöndorff.[4][5]
The festival opened with Hair, directed by Miloš Forman[6][7] and closed with À nous deux, directed by Claude Lelouch.[8]
Françoise Sagan, the president of the jury raised a controversy as she complained that Robert Favre Le Bret, director of the festival, had stepped out of his role and had put pressure on the jury for the choice of Coppola's film, while she had defended The Tin Drum to the last minute of the competition. Finally the Palme d'Or was given to both films.[9]
