'Anatomy of a fall' and 'The Zone of Interest' are two of the 21 films in competition for the Palme d'Or. The two films could have been to Östlund's liking: the second for the dissection of that family, as the Swede has done in Force Majeure, undoubtedly his best film.

And it was directed by one of the six female filmmakers in the competition, and she's French. The Queen's Game is then English, an English actress with a Brazilian filmmaker in the foreground.
