Labaki not only directed and co-wrote the film but plays the lead as well. The rest of the cast is composed mostly of unprofessional actors, all of whom deliver very convincing performances and add a lot of color and depth to the film.A. O.

The film proved to be a sleeper at the festival and was distributed in well over 40 countries, becoming an international hit.http://www.viewlondon.co.uk/cinemas/nadine-labaki-interview-feature-2468.html Nadine Labaki Interview viewlondon.co.uk 26 May 2017thumb|200px|Stephen Frears, Jury President Official Awards thumb|222x222px|Cristian Mungiu, Palme d'Or winner thumb|214x214px|Naomi Kawase, Gran Prix winner thumb|U2 perform at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival, prior to the screening of U2 3D In Competition The following films and people received the 2007 Official selection awards:http://www.festival-cannes.fr/en/archives/2007/allAward.html Awards 2007: All Awards festival-cannes.fr dead https://web.archive.org/web/20140222070149/http://www.festival-cannes.fr/en/archives/2007/allAward.html 22 February 2014 dmy Palme d'Or: 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days by Cristian Mungiu Grand Prix: The Mourning Forest by Naomi Kawase Best Director: Julian Schnabel for The Diving Bell and the Butterfly Best Screenplay: Fatih Akin for The Edge of Heaven Best Actress: Jeon Do-yeon in Secret Sunshine Best Actor: Konstantin Lavronenko in The Banishment Jury Prize: Persepolis by Vincent Paronnaud, Marjane Satrapi Silent Light by Carlos Reygadas 60th Anniversary Prize: Paranoid Park by Gus Van Sant Un Certain Regard Prix Un Certain Regard: California Dreamin', by Cristian Nemescuhttp://www.festival-cannes.com/en/archives/2007/awardUnCertainRegard.html Awards 2007: Un Certain Regard festival-cannes.com dead https://web.archive.org/web/20160303181531/http://www.festival-cannes.com/en/archives/2007/awardUnCertainRegard.html 3 March 2016 dmy Special Jury Prize: Actrices by Valeria Bruni Tedeschi Heart Throb Jury Prize: The Band's Visit by Eran Kolirin Cinéfondation First Prize: Ahora todos parecen contentos by Gonzalo Tobal Second Prize: Ru Dao by Tao Chen Third Prize: Minus by Pavle Vuckovic Caméra d'Or Jellyfish by Etgar Keret and Shira Geffen Special mention: Control by Anton Corbijn Short Films Competition Short Film Palme d'Or: Ver Llover by Elisa Miller Special mention: Ah Ma by Anthony Chen Run by Mark Albiston Independent Awards FIPRESCI Prizes 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days by Cristian Mungiu (In competition)http://www.fipresci.org/awards/2007 FIPRESCI Awards 2007 fipresci.org 25 June 2017 The Band's Visit by Eran Kolirin (Un Certain Regard) Her Name is Sabine by Sandrine Bonnaire (first film, parallel sections) Vulcan Award of the Technical Artist Janusz Kamiński (cinematographer) for The Diving Bell and the Butterfly Prize of the Ecumenical Jury The Edge of Heaven by Fatih Akınhttp://cannes.juryoecumenique.org/palmares/article/auf-der-anderen-seite-de-l-autre Jury Œcuménique Palmarés 2007 cannes.juryoecumenique.org 26 June 2017 International Critics' Week Canal+ Gran Prix for short film: Madame Tutli-Putli Petit Rail d'Orpresented by "cinephile railwaymen": Madame Tutli-Putlihttps://www.thestar.com/news/2007/05/26/innovative_nfb_short_gets_2_awards_at_cannes.html Cinephile railwaymen thestar.com 26 May 2007 22 July 2017 CICAE Jury Cannes Counterparts by Jan Bonny Prix François Chalais A Mighty Heart by Michael Winterbottomhttp://www.francois-chalais.fr/laureats-cannes/cannes-2007 Association Prix François Chalais Cannes 2007 francois-chalais.fr 28 June 2017 https://web.archive.org/web/20170920155642/http://www.francois-chalais.fr/laureats-cannes/cannes-2007 20 September 2017 dead Notes References Media INA: Climbing of the steps : protocol (commentary in French) INA: List of winners of the 2007 Cannes Festival (commentary in French) External links 2007 Cannes Film Festival (web.archive) Official website Retrospective 2007 https://web.archive.org/web/20190211085821/http://www.festival-cannes.com/en/69-editions/retrospective/2007/selection/in-competition-feature-films 2019-02-11 Cannes Film Festival Awards for 2007 at Internet Movie Database Category:Cannes Film Festival by year Cannes Film Festival Cannes Film Festival Cannes Film Festival Cannes Film Festival |}
