'I messed up': Spike Lee's big blooper at Cannes Film Festival

Director Spike Lee has apologised for revealing Titane, a film about a serial killer by France's Julia Ducournau, as the winner of Cannes Film Festival's top award too early in the awards ceremony.

The violent film, where the heroine has sex with a car, split critics, with some praising its originality but others were put off by its frantic and messy approach."Ducournau's beautiful, dark, twisted fantasy is a nightmarish yet mischievously comic barrage of sex, violence, lurid lighting and pounding music," critics at the BBC broadcaster said.

The only previous female winner of Cannes' top award was Jane Campion who shared the prize in 1993 for The Piano Once the awards were officially announced, other big winners included Leos Carax, picked as best director for Annette, a musical about two artists caught in a twisted love affair.Hamaguchi Ryusuke and Takamusa Oe of Japan won best screenplay for their tale of heartbreak and loss Drive My Car.Renate Reinsve won best actress for her role in The Worst Person In The World by Joachim Trier, a modern-day romantic comedy that was a big hit with critics.
