Michael Haneke, Christoph Waltz and Charlotte Gainsbourg won the "Palme d'Or", Best Actor and Best Actress awards respectively.
In the early hours of yesterday Beijing time, the 62nd Cannes Film Festival officially closed. Ang Lee, who wanted to achieve a grand slam with "Taking Woodstock", left empty-handed in the end. The French film "A Prophet" which was highly praised by many media and critics did not win the "Palme d'Or" as expected. Instead, another well-received film, "The White Ribbon", had the last laugh. Of course, "A Prophet" did not leave empty-handed. Director Jacques Audiard won the Jury Prize.
