Titane

Cannes Film Festival: Titane wins top Palme d'Or prize

Director Julie Ducournau is only the second woman to receive the Palme d'Or and the first female to win it alone.

The film, which is Ducournau's second feature, tells the story of a young female killer who has sex with cars after surviving a childhood crash.

The award was prematurely revealed by US director Spike Lee at the beginning of Saturday's ceremony.

The jury president let the big secret slip, before telling the audience: "I apologise for messing up."
