Lanthimos picks up Prix du Jury award at Cannes for ‘The Lobster’

Up-and-coming Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos won the third-place Prix du Jury (jury prize) at the Cannes Film Festival for the “The Lobster”, his first English-language film starring Colin Farrell and Rachel Weisz.

The top Palme d’Or award went to Jacques Audiard’s immigrant drama Dheepan in what international media described as a “shocker”.
