The 65th annual Cannes Film Festival was held from May 16 to May 27, 2012.[1][2] Italian film director Nanni Moretti was the President of the Jury for the main competition[3] and British actor Tim Roth was the President of the Jury for the Un Certain Regard section.[4] French actress Bérénice Bejo hosted the opening and closing ceremonies.[5]
The festival opened with the US film Moonrise Kingdom, directed by Wes Anderson and closed with the late Claude Miller's final film Thérèse Desqueyroux.[6] The main announcement of the line-up took place on April 19. The official poster of the festival features Marilyn Monroe, to mark the 50th anniversary of her death.[7]
The Palme d'Or was awarded to Austrian director Michael Haneke for his film Love. Haneke previously won the Palme d'Or in 2009 for The White Ribbon. The jury gave the Grand Prize to Matteo Garrone's Reality, while Ken Loach's The Angels' Share was awarded the Jury Prize.
Official selection
The official selection was announced on 19 April at Grand Hôtel in Paris. Among comments after the announcement, journalists noted the unusually high number of Hollywood films in the line-up, the absence of any female director in the main competition, as well as the absence of competing first-time feature film directors.[8][9] The festival's artistic leader Thierry Frémaux responded that people should not focus only on the competition films: "The selection is an ensemble; you have to consider the whole package."[9]

The Palme d'Or was won by the French-language film Love directed by Michael Haneke. Haneke previously won the award for The White Ribbon in 2009.[20] Love tells the story of an elderly couple preparing for death.[21] During his acceptance speech, the director said "A very, very big thanks to my actors who have made this film. It's their film. They are the essence of this film."[20]
Moretti said that none of the winners had been selected unanimously, and described such an outcome as "a middle ground that would have pleased no one". He revealed that Holy Motors,Paradise: Love and Post Tenebras Lux were the entries that most had divided the jury.[22]
