May 26th 2008 23:33
The coveted Palme d'Or, Cannes' prize for best movie, went to Laurent Cantet's The Class, a film about students at a tough Parisian high school. It's the first time since 1987 that a French film has taken the top honour. Second prize went to Gomorra, a film about the criminal underworld in Naples, while third prize went to Italian film Il Divo.
As for the stars themselves, Benicio Del Toro was unanimously named Best Actor, for his portrayal of revolutionary Che Guevara in Steven Soderbergh's biopic Che. "I'd like to dedicate this to the man himself, Che Guevara, as well as to Soderbergh, who got up every day, forced me to this," Del Toro said during the ceremony. "He was there pushing it, and he pushed all of us."
So the Cannes Film Festival is over for another year - time for us all to head back to Hollywood.
