DHAKA: The 2015 Palme d’Or goes to Dheepan, Jacques Audiard’s low-key study of Tamil Tiger refugees trying to build a new life in France.
It stars Jesuthasan Antonythasan as a man who recruits a woman and a young girl to pretend to be his family in order to gain asylum.
Audiard is a Cannes regular, here with Rust and Bone and A Prophet, which won the Grand Prix in 2009.
