Triet also criticised what she called the government's " commercialisation of culture" - Leading France's Culture Minister Rima Abdul Malak saying she was " gobsmacked" by the " unfair" comments.
The Grand Prix , the second-highest prize, went to British director Jonathan Glazer for The Zone of Interest, an adaptation of the late Martin Amis 's novel of the Same Name about A Family living next to Auschwitz.
Meanwhile, the Best Actor award went to Japan's Koji Yakusho for his role as a middle-aged Tokyo man who cleans toilets in Wim Wenders ' Perfect Days, and Turkey's Merve Dizdar was named best actress for About Dry Grasses.
