Putting an end to speculation (see post below) the Jury at Cannes unanimously chose the French film "Deephan" for the Palme d'Or. Directed by Jacques Audiard the film recounts the problems encountered by a family of refugees from Sri Lanka in a Paris banlieu.
Best actor was won by Vincent Lindon for his role in "Le loi du marché ".
Best female actor was shared by French actress Emmanuelle Bercot for her part in "Mon Roi" with American Rooney Mara who starred in "Carol" with Cate Blanchette.
The results confirm American film directors admiration for French cinema as Joel and Ethan Coen follow Sean Penn and Steven Spielberg as jury chairmen in awarding the top prize to a French production.
