Austrian film The White Ribbon has won the Palme d'Or, the main prize at the Cannes Film Festival.
Director Michael Haneke's work saw off competition from past winners including Britain's Ken Loach and Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds.
One of its stars, Austrian Christoph Waltz, won best actor for his portrayal of an SS officer.
Charlotte Gainsbourg was named best actress for her role in Lars Von Trier's controversial film Antichrist.
The Danish film-maker's work did not go down well due to its brutal and frank scenes of domestic violence.
