Cannes: Michael Haneke Goes Gentle, Wins Palme d'Or for "Amour"
English

Michael Haneke’s “Amour” was awarded the Palme d’Or at Cannes’ closing event on Sunday. Following 2010’s “The White Ribbon,” it is the second time the Austrian auteur has won the festival’s top prize. He is the eighth director to win it twice. The reality-television satire “Reality,” directed by the Italian filmmaker Matteo Garrone, was awarded the Grand Prix. The Jury Prize went to the whisky comedy “The Angels’ Share,” directed by the British veteran Ken Loach. Mexico’s Carlos Reygadas was named Best Director for his quasi-surrealistic “Post Tenebras Lux,” which, involving a middle-class couple living in the wilds with their nightmare-suffering toddlers, foxed many critics. The full list of winners is printed here. Read the full post on Spotlight.
