Big Night for Austria in Cannes

Michael Haneke, Austrian director, won the top prize, the Palme d'Or, at the Cannes Film Festival with his film, The White Ribbon, a drama about a children's choir in a village in northern Germany just before World War I.

According to Haneke, the film is about "the origin of every type of terrorism, be it of political or religious nature."

Austrian actor Christoph Waltz received the Best Actor Award for portraying Colonel Hans Landa, the "Jew Hunter" in Quentin Tarantino's World War II epic "Inglourious Basterds."
