AFP: Turkey's Ceylan wins best director prize at Cannes

Turkey's Nuri Bilge Ceylan won Cannes' Best Director prize on Sunday for his searing family drama "Three Monkeys".

Ceylan,
almost 40 and already winner of a batch of awards for his first four
features, is regarded as one of the most distinctive film-makers of the
last decade.

"Three Monkeys", a tragedy revolving around
jealousy, was his third appearance in competition at Cannes, where the
movie was a critics' favourite among the 22 vying for the prestigious
Palme d'Or award.
