介绍:
Turkish drama 'Winter Sleep' wins Palme d'Or
The Turkish drama "Winter Sleep" has been awarded this year's coveted Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
The film tells the story of a wealthy family running a hotel in the snowy Turkish hills, and details their strained relationship with their village neighbors.
Director Nuri Bilge Ceylan has two previous awards from Cannes.
But he admits this one is very special.
"It means a lot of course. Two times I received Grand Jury Prize, and one time Best Director, but now I understand that this feels very different. There's a huge difference between second prize and first prize, believe me."
In other categories, Amercian actress Julianne Moore has won best actress for her performance in David Cronenberg's "Maps to the Stars."
Best actor award has gone to Timothy Spall, who stars as British painter J.M.W Turner in Mike Leigh's biopic "Mr. Turner."
"Moneyball" director Bennett Miller has won best director for his wresting drama "Foxcatcher."
The jury prize has been shared by Quebec filmmaker Xavier Dolan's "Mommy" and Jean-Luc Godard's "Goodbye to Language."
