CANNES, France — The hypnotic Thai film “Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives” won the top honor at the Cannes Film Festival on Sunday. Juliette Binoche, Javier Bardem and Elio Germano earned acting honors.
“Uncle Boonmee,” directed by Apichatpong Weerasethakul, traces the dreamlike final days of a man dying of kidney failure as the ghost of his dead wife tends to him and his long-lost son comes home in the form of a furry jungle spirit.
Binoche won best actress for the cryptic love story “Certified Copy.” Bardem (“Biutiful”) and Germano (“Our Life”) shared the best-actor prize. The Associated Press
