With “The Pianist,” “Pulp Fiction,” and “The Leopard” all having left the Cannes Film Festival with the top prize, the Palme d’Or award has proved to be a veritable sign of cinematic sucess over the festival’s 68-year history.But it is not just winners of the Golden Palm that have gone on to find success either critically or commercially. Runners-up that have taken either the Grand Prix or the Jury Prize in place of the Palme d’Or include Ingmar Bergman’s “The Seventh Seal” which left Cannes in 1957 with the Special Jury Prize.
