Romanian director Cristian Mungiu took home the top prize at the 79th Cannes Film Festival on Saturday for his culture-war drama Fjord<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Fjord<\/em>, which centers on an immigrant family living in Norway, received the Palme D’Or for best film during the closing ceremony held at the Grand Th\u00e9\u00e2tre Lumi\u00e8re in Cannes, France. It stars Sebastian Stan and Renate Reinsve.<\/p>\n

It’s the second Palme D’Or for Mungiu, who received his first in 2007 for the film 4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 2 Days<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In his acceptance speech, Mungui said that, in making the film, “We took the risk to speak aloud about things that many of us know and many of us share \u2026 but don’t dare to say in public.”<\/p>\n
