What award did the Thai film Elephant win?

The Thai film Elephant won the Palme d 'Or. In 2003, The Elephant won the highest award "Palme d 'Or" at the 56th Cannes Film Festival, and also won the individual "Best Director" award.

"The Elephant" was praised in two ways. Formally speaking, the shooting technique and narrative means of The Elephant are novel and unique. The whole film always practices the agreement that the camera follows the actions of the characters, and creates an objective and calm image effect by following the camera for a long time.

In terms of content, gus van sant also appreciates the idea of not commenting in The Elephant. Gus van sant's original plan was to make a documentary about the campus events in Columbine, but later he gave up this idea and made a narrative film instead.

The Palme d 'Or Award is the highest award in Cannes International Film Festival, France. Together with the Golden Bear Award in Berlin International Film Festival and the Golden Lion Award in Venice International Film Festival, Italy, it is the highest international award in the film field.
