Son of Saul and Carol also strong contenders.
Yorgos Lanthimos’ The Lobster is the hot favourite to snap up the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival on Sunday (May 24), according to Paddy Power.
The surreal drama, starring Colin Farrell and Rachel Weisz, is facing competition from Holocaust drama Son of Saul and Todd Haynes’ Carol, starring Cate Blanchett in the tale of a lesbian affair in the 1950s.
Having faced some harsh criticism during the festival, Gus Van Sant’s The Sea of Trees starring Matthew McConaughey is a long 20/1 to clinch the top prize, with Maiwenn’s Mon roi bringing up the rear at 40/1.
