The Grand Prix was presented by Kevin Kline and Ashley Judd to Oldboy by Park Chan-Wook.
"I would like to thank all the members of the Jury and the Cannes Festival", said the South Korean director. "I met Roman Polanski at a party and we had our photograph taken together. That was already such an honour that I really didn't expect to win a prize [...] The fact that this great director said 'good luck' to me was such an honour. I dedicate this prize to the whole crew".
When asked by a journalist at the post-press conference about the mixed canvas his film conveys : "With the advent of the DVD and other digital supports, the possibility to watch a film more than once exists. And I made this film with the intention that people would watch it again and discover new elements each time".
