Miguel Gomes has won the Best Director award, the Prix de la Mise en scène, at the Cannes Film Festival for his film 'Grand Tour.' The film, which has garnered significant attention and mixed reviews, is a dreamy, experimental travelogue set in East and Southeast Asia. 'Grand Tour' transposes the traditional European grand tour narrative to Asia, creating a beguiling and elusive cinematic experience. The film travels from Saigon to Shanghai, exploring themes of colonial romance and lost time. The Cannes2024 jury was notably impressed by Gomes' avant-garde approach, which has been described as not recommended for tourists. The film stars Gonçalo Waddington, Crista Alfaiate, and Cláudio Da Silva.
