As the final features competing for the Palme d'Or hit the big screen in Cannes, Eve Jackson takes us through her highlights of the 79th film festival. She tells us why "Fjord", a powerful drama from Cristian Mungiu starring Renate Reinsve and Sebastian Stan, packs a psychological punch and flags up the charming ensemble drama "I See Buildings Fall Like Lightning" from British filmmaker Clio Barnard.

We also discuss some of the overarching themes this year as the festival tackles war and sexuality from a historical perspective, and Andy Garcia sheds a tear as his passion project "Diamond" lights up the big screen in Cannes.

Plus we check out some of the red-carpet trends, with crochet, capes and colour pops featuring among the fashion choices this year.
