FRENCH film Dheepan won the top Palme d'Or prize for director Jacques Audiard at the 68th Cannes International Film Festival, crowning a good night for French cinema but a bad one for Italy and actress Cate Blanchett.
The choice of a film that revolves around the lives of Tamil refugees from Sri Lanka's civil war moving to France was seen as sending a political message, but the awards overall left some critics and festivalgoers dumbfounded.
