Ken Loach wins top Cannes award



British director Ken Loach has won the ultimate accolade at the prestigious Cannes film festival for his Irish civil war film The Wind That Shakes The Barley.

The film beat 19 others to win the Palme d'Or, which is regarded as the most important cinematic prize outside the Oscars.

The jury, which included actors Samuel L Jackson and Monica Belluci, as well as director Wong Kar Wai, praised the film for its compassion and hope. The decision to award it the top prize was unanimous.

Actress Helena Bonham Carter, who was also on the jury, said the film was a 'fantastic education about the Irish problem'.

'There was a tremendous humanity. I can't explain our mass reaction but we were all profoundly moved,' she said.

Mr Loach, 69, explained that although the film told the story of the IRA in Ireland in the 1920s, it was also a critique of the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003.

Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme this morning, he said: 'If you have an army of occupation brutalising the occupation then things follow.'

The film stars Cillian Murphy and Padraic Delaney as brothers who join the war against British forces.

Mr Loach is a Cannes veteran, having entered a total of eight films into the competition. His victory is the first time a British film has won the Palme d'Or for ten years, although British director Andrea Arnold won a special jury prize for her debut feature Red Road.

'This is very good for British cinema. I hope it encourages people in our film industry to remember we are part of world cinema and to not just look across the Atlantic,' Mr Loach said last night.
