"AMOUR" WINS TOP AWARD AT CANNES

　　The Cannes Film Festival came to rain-soaked end, awarding Michael Haneke's "Love" (Amour) the prestigious Palme d'Or on Sunday (May 27). The director's acclaimed tale of an elderly couple facing the inescapable, yet no less tragic march of death. During a news conference after the award ceremony, the filmmaker said it was a very personal movie, because himself had to face the same situation.

　　The simple yet moving tale set almost entirely inside a Paris apartment left audiences in tears in Cannes, and it will prove a popular winner for a director considered one of the greatest working in Europe today. Haneke joins an elite group of two-time winnes at the world's biggest film festival after his "The White Ribbon" won in 2009.
