in the german cup final. thanks for joining us the 2019 cannes film festival has come to a close with a star studded award ceremony the festival's top prize the palme d'or went to south korean director. for his black comedy parasite the prize for a parasite marks the 1st korean film ever to win the honor for best film at cannes the festival 2nd place award the grand prize went to french senegalese director from atlanta i'm joined now by scott rockstar from our culture desk wow. my 1st thought. was this a surprise parasite well of the it was a surprise for me because this is. the 1st time that the jury and i have agreed on

what should win the palme d'or going there many many years parasite was my favorite film this year usually means it wins nothing this time the jury agreed with me finally they got it right now this is an amazing film it is the 1st time a korean film has won the top prize in cannes but june hole is a very established director and well known in cannes he's been competition number of times before this film is really incredible it's sort of a sort of comedy hitchcockian a thriller it's about a family of poor family of a sort of a small time con artist who managed to con their way into a rich family's home and start working for them and so the 2000 has become intertwined and the film is so delicately done that you're not quite sure as the film goes on who is actually conning who is the actual parasite of the film's title . movie brilliant brilliantly done wonderfully executed and a really deserved winner it sounds like there's some thriller aspects to it much thriller but also very very funny and beautifully shot i mean every part of this

film works perfectly any other surprises at the festival the number 2 prize amount of the up that you mentioned. also very very good film a surprise just because she's a 1st time film director and usually the 1st time directors don't have much of a chance to win top prize in cannes but it's also a real 1st because this is the 1st time this is she's the 1st black woman to ever have a film in competition in japan and and it was quite impressive she's also an actress and that really shows in the performances that she gets out of our actors in this film it's set in senegal where she's from and it's sort of the refugee story but it's told from the other side not from the european side which is often the case here but it's told from the people who are left behind when there are the women who are left behind when their men try to flee over the atlantic to europe but it's just that it's also supernatural elements it's a bit of a ghost story difficult to explain in a couple of couple of seconds but very wary well worth watching and and. really

shows a very impressive debut performance i mean for a 36 year old 1st time director to deliver a movie like this is really beyond belief and tony harris who is certainly not a 1st time or won for best actor also deserved completely deserve completely deserved. in pain and glory which is from. a director this film is essentially life story is slightly fictionalized but it's the story of a gay spanish director who comes up through the sixty's and seventy's and becomes the international star blah. plays of our character and beautifully this wonderful sort of broken heart love story man that he used to love again 32 years later anyone who loves. will love this movie and i mean i've always been a fan but he really reaches another career high with. this segment by saying wow is the fact that there was so much noise being made. and yet he is not in the

winnings you know he was he was locked out this year. hollywood. caprio and brad pitt was a great great movie one of my favorites really shows and also at the top of his powers and this is 25 years since he won. the palme d'or for pulp fiction and launches for. amazing film really really well received by the critics but maybe he was just too big he doesn't need another palme d'or it would be nice to get 125 years after he is clearly got started with. but i don't actually think he'll be upset by this because he's a huge fan of. calls in the best director in asia so i think he'd be satisfied if you got the. thank you for adding color to the cannes film festival wrappings thanks so much. serum oppose it has been sworn in as president of south africa after being returned to office in elections earlier this month he's promised

some very serious really dangerous chances notably use of polson coming very close to giving them the lead after just about 10 minutes. in fact so you arguably had perhaps the best of the chances for the game certainly in the last 20 minutes but they were wasteful in front of goal as we know them ruthlessly clinical. and kingsley come on. and it's fair to say that in each of the 3 goes there was some serious individual brilliance involved. now the 19th german cup hard to win by munich history and 12 the cup doubles some incredible statistics so it was wasteful as you put it the how would you describe what exactly made the difference for bahrain well i mean like i said lots of ways for. the complete opposite they were very cold in front of go they punished for every mistake that the defenders made they didn't necessarily like i said have the best chances really in the game

but whenever they got close they dispatched them very expertly you know. those going kingsley come on can always be decisive in the game and at the back as well manuel neuer who we see lifting a cop behind us had a fantastic performance he made some very big saves. on the 2nd half as well as early on in the. crucial moments a real captain's performance from manuel neuer so listen i mean biron has won the league yet again and yet there's speculation that their manager called dutch is going to be sacked how did today's event how did that change his job. and he made him a lot more safe in the job now speculation of his future has followed him throughout the season of course you know it started when. bruce you dortmund were way ahead in the front of the front of the book is legal but if he's going to be judged on results you'd have to say he looks very very safe a league and cup double for him personally it was a back to back german cups because of course he won the german cup last year

against by munich we've he's bent in front so he's a vengeance the defeat that he inflicted on his current club it would be very odd i think if he were to go and there's no serious indication anymore that it's going to happen so i think he's probably fairly safe going forward an emotional day on all sides. sports thanks so much thank you formula one racing now where mercedes driver lewis hamilton has won pole position for sunday's monaco grand prix it's the 85th time the defending world champion will take the top spot on the starting grid he'll be joined by teammate valtteri bull to us in the front row red bulls match for stop and qualified 3rd in ferrari sebastian vettel for. visitors are flocking to resume in mexico after baby jaguar made her debut. as state's cute new star is this 2 month old female but she's just not not just adorable she's also an important success for the zoo's breeding programs where the
