Audiard's 'Dheepan' Wins Palme D'Or in Upset Cannes Finale, The 68th Cannes Film Festival was conveyed to an amazing close Sunday with Jacques Audiard's Sri Lankan exile show taking the celebration's desired top respect, the Palme d'Or.
The decision of "Dheepan," as chose by a jury drove by Joel and Ethan Coen, left a few faultfinders scratching their heads. While the smart French producer has drawn across the board recognition for movies, for example, "A Prophet" and "Rust and Bone," a few pundits were baffled by the thriller peak of Audiard's film. "Dheepan" is around a trio of Sri Lankans who claim to be a family with a specific end goal to escape their war-torn nation and are settled in a brutal lodging venture outside Paris.
"This isn't a jury of film pundits," Joel Coen told columnists after the honors service, nearby kindred legal hearers like Guillermo del Toro and Jake Gyllenhaal. "This is a jury of craftsmen who are taking a gander at the work."

Jury individuals, however, said "Dheepan" was decided for its general quality as a film, instead of any topicality.
"We all idea it was an exceptionally delightful film," said Ethan Coen, calling the choice "quick." ''Everyone had some abnormal state of fervor and eagerness for it."
Audiard, springing to the platform at the Palais des Festivals, acknowledged the honor with warm appreciation, bowing to the jury. He was joined by the stopgap folks of his film: Kalieaswari Srinivasan and Antonythasan Jesuthasan, who himself was Tamil Tiger kid warrior before discovering political shelter in France.
"To get a prize from the Coen siblings is extraordinary," said Audiard, who included that just accepting one from the Luc and Jean-Pierre Dardenne, the Belgian filmmaking kin, could break even with it.
The runner-up prize, the Grand Prix, went to "Child of Saul," an inauspicious Holocaust dramatization by first-time Hungarian chief László Nemes. Some normal Nemes' alarming dive into the life of an Auschwitz laborer to take the top honor, yet its been 26 years since a presentation film (Steven Soderbergh's "Sex, Lies, and Videotape") was given the Palme.
English on-screen character Sienna Miller and Canadian performer Xavier Dolan, both jury individuals, sounded particularly moved by "Child of Saul." Miller called it "amazing" and an exceptional achievement for a first-time movie producer.
"Europe is still spooky by the decimation of the European Jews," said Nemes. "That is something that lives with us."
Hou Hsiao-Hsien, the breathtaking 68-year-old Taiwanese movie producer, won best executive for his first element in eight years: "The Assassin," a richly painterly hand to hand fighting dramatization.
The best on-screen character prize was part yet not the way some normal. It was given to both Rooney Mara, a large portion of the sentimental pair of Todd Haynes' '50s lesbian dramatization "Tune," and Emmanuelle Bercot, the French star of the crazy ride marriage show "My King." (Bercot likewise coordinated the celebration opener, "Standing Tall," around a reprobate adolescent.) Any part was dared to go to Mara and her "Hymn" co-star, Cate Blanchet
