The Palme d’Or, Cannes’ top prize, is due to be awarded Saturday at the festival’s closing ceremony on the French Riviera. Zvyagintsev’s film is one of several titles viewed by critics as possible winners after two weeks of premieres, red carpets and industry events. Several other prizes have already been announced. Iranian documentary “Rehearsals for a Revolution,” by exiled actress and director Pegah Ahangarani, won the top documentary prize, while British director Clio Barnard’s “I See Buildings Fall Like Lightning” took the top prize in the Directors’ Fortnight section.
