CANNES -- Thai director Apichatpong Weerasethakul's "Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives" won the Festival de Cannes' top honor, the coveted Palme d'Or, as the 63rd annual Festival de Cannes wrapped Sunday night.
Charlotte Gainsbourg joined jury president Tim Burton to present Weerasethakul with the prize at the traditional closing-night ceremony held in the Palais des Festivals, as the world's most famous film festival wrapped its 12-day run.
"I'd like to thank the jury, particularly Tim Burton, whose haircut I really like," Weerasethakul told the crowd while accepting his Palme d'Or. He added: "I'd like to send a message home: This prize is for you."
