"Tree of Life" Wins Palme d'Or in Cannes
Jury president Robert DeNiro at the Cannes Film Festival awards happening now in France.
Terrence Malick's "The Tree of Life" took the Palme d'Or Sunday night in Cannes, though the notoriously shy director did not take to the stage to accept the prize. The Dardennes' "The Kid with a Bike" shared the Grand Prix with "Once Upon a Time in Anatolia" by Nuri Bilge Ceylan, and Nicolas Winding Refn won the Best Director prize for "Drive."
Kirsten Dunst thanked Lars von Trier in one memorable moment at the ceremony after taking her Best Actress award, adding, "what a week it's been," referring to the firestorm over von Trier's controversial comments at a press conference earlier in the festival.

I'm happy for Malick, who -- despite his faults -- is still a very talented, deserving director.
I'm also glad that Kirsten Dunst thanked her director and didn't let all the bad hype around him change the fact that he gave her probably the most dynamic and demanding role she's ever had (in probably the most challenging movie she's ever been in).
Cannes seemed pretty uneventful otherwise.

i prefer Dardenne brothers's movie rather than Malick's .
and according to " Radu" 's comment i really enjoy the jury's choice about Kirsten Dunst .

Glad to see the scandal with Lars von Trier didn't affect Kirsten Dunst's chances at the prize. It's really good she won. Also, I'm pretty excited about the directing award for "Drive", can't wait to see that movie!
