Turkey's Ceylan wins Cannes' best director prize

Turkish director Nuri Bilge Ceylan won the prize of the best director yesterday for his searing family drama "Three Monkeys" at the 61st Cannes Film Festival. Turkish director attended the ceremony with his wife and said: "I dedicate my prize to my lonely and beautiful country". Faye Dunaway handed Ceylan his prize. Ceylan, maker of "Uzak" and "Climates," is a master of psychological subtlety and intimacy, shooting meticulously beautiful images helped by his use of high-definition digital video. Before Ceylan, Yılmaz Güney won the prize of Golden Palm with his movie called "The Road" in 1982, and last year Fatih Akın won the prize of the best script with his movie called "The Edge of Heaven."
