French movie "The Class" has won at this year's Cannes Film Festival.
"The Class" tells a story about a life in a tough Paris school with
unruly pupils. What makes this win amazing is that there were no
professional actors in the movie - it was played by real pupils and
real teachers. A bunch of these happy pupils were at the Cannes'
ceremony sharing the glory of receiving the Cannes' Palme d'Or with the
film director Laurent Cantet.
This is the first time a French movie won the Cannes' Palme d'Or
since 1987 when French director Maurice Pialat won with his film
"Under Satan's Sun".
