It is a déjà-vu situation for Austrian director Michael Haneke, winner of the Palme d´Or for “White Ribbon” in 2009, taking home the same prize for this year´s winner “Amour”.
The Palme d´Or winner of this year's Cannes Film Festival is a French-language film that introduces the viewer to an elderly couple threatened by illnesses, yet powered by love.
After 12 days of non-stop film viewing, “Amour” staring octogenarian actors Jean-Louis Trinignant and Emmanuelle Riva has earned Haneke his second top prize.
Amongst other prizes are:
Despite being tipped as being a winner, “Holy motors” starring Kylie Minogue in a cameo appearance did not make it to the top of the list.
