‘Fjord’ by Romania’s Cristian Mungiu wins Cannes top film prize

Cristian Mungiu's drama Fjord has won the best film prize at the Cannes Film Festival. Mungiu won his second Palme d'Or at the festival's closing ceremony. The film is a thought-provoking drama about a Christian family in Norway, centred around the clash of values that ensues when they relocate from Romania. It is based on true events and questions the supposedly progressive values of the Norwegians depicted in the film. Mungiu becomes the 10th filmmaker to win the Palme d'Or twice.
