The film won the UsefulNotes/PalmeDOr award at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival.

to:

The film won the UsefulNotes/PalmeDOr award at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival.Festival, making Ducournau the second female director to win the award - and the first to win it solo. (Creator/JaneCampion won in 1993 for ''Film/ThePiano'', which was tied with ''Film/FarewellMyConcubine''.) Additional attention was drawn to the film's victory due to a mistake made by that year's jury president, Creator/SpikeLee, who misunderstood a question at a press conference and accidentally revealed ''Titane'' as the Palme d'Or winner well before the official announcement.
