Kirsten Dunst conquers the Cannes Film Festival and takes the best actress award

By BAZ BAMIGBOYE IN CANNES


Honour: Kirsten Dunst poses next to Venezuelian actor Edgard Ramirez after being awarded with the Prix de l'Interpretation Feminine (best actress) for Melancholia


Kirsten Dunst conquered the Cannes Film Festival by taking the best actress award from a jury led by Robert De Niro and for a movie made by banned film-maker Lars von Trier.

The 29-year-old star thought her chances of winning at Cannes were dimmed after Von Trier was made persona non grata by the festival's board after telling a press conference he understood Hitler and that he 'was a Nazi'.

The comments sent shock waves through the film world.

Kirsten told the Mail Online that she kept thinking, 'Lars, shut up'.

She added: 'He's a great film-maker who, sometimes I feel should let his films speak for themselves.'

In any event, the actress who has come a long way since starring in the Spiderman pictures.


Touched: She was awarded the coveted prize during the closing ceremony of the 64th Cannes Film Festival


She gives a terrific, deeply felt performance in Von Trier's film Melancholia as a newly-wed bride who instantly regrets her marriage while at the same time the planet Earth is on collision course with another planet.

Her character Justine is an utterly depressed young woman .

'I understood a little of what Justine was going through', the actress told the Mail Online.


Dressed for the occasion: Kirsten looked stunning in a silver and white floor length dress


It is a huge triumph for Kirsten as there was formidable competition from the likes of Tilda Swinton who starred in the British entry We Need To Talk About Kevin.

The win also helps Kirtsen make a shift from main stream Hollywood films to more independent fare.

The big award of the night, the Palme d'Or went to Terrence Malick's epic visual poem
The Tree of Life which starred Brad Pitt and Sean Penn.


Best actor went to Jean Dujarin for the enchanting picture The Artists which took a touching glance back to the era of silent films.

Best director went to Nicolas Winding Refn for his work on the brilliant but bloody-
thirsty thriller Drive which starred Ryan Gosling who is excellent as a movie stunt car driver by day and a getaway driver by night.

Carey Mulligan, Oscar Isaac, and Christina Hendricks also star in the film which opens in the UK in the Autumn.

Other prizes went to the superb French movie Polisse which looked at a Parisian child
protection unit.

Jury members included Uma Thurman and Jude Law.


Delighted: The 29-year-old lapped up the attention from her peers during tonight's Closing Ceremony in Cannes

Angelina Jolie confirms new tattoo is a tribute to Brad Pitt as she arrives in Cannes

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Tribute: Angelina Jolie, pictured at a photocall for Kung Fu Panda 2 in Cannes today, has confirmed her latest tattoo is an ode to partner Brad Pitt


Angelina Jolie has finally put an end to mounting speculation relating to her latest latitude and longitude arm tattoo.

When asked about the new etching in an interview with Extra today, the obviously annoyed mother-of-six confirmed that the co-ordinates are a tribute to long-time partner Brad Pitt.

In a rather snappy retort, the 35-year-old was irritated when an interviewer asked whether it related to a possible new adoption.


C'est chic: Angelina looked happier in Cannes today than when she was asked about the tattoo during a serious interview to promote her work as a UN ambassador


'Well, if they know that it's latitude and longitude they would have figured out quickly that it was Brad's birthplace,' she snapped.

'It doesn't take much investigation to figure that one out. The coordinates are Shawnee, Oklahoma.'

In the interview, conducted at the Cannes Film Festival, where the actress is currently promoting her new movie Kung Fu Panda 2, Angelina also ruled out another adoption in the near future, saying it wasn't a possibility, 'at this time'.


Needled: She confirmed that the ink, first seen here when she toured a Tunisian refugee camp last month, are the coordinates for Pitt's birth place


She also explained that Kung Fu Panda 2 'deals with family and adoption,' and that initially she was nervous about how her mix of biological and adopted children would deal with 'such a heavy issue'.

But she said she was relieved with their reaction to the film and said they all discussed it.

'The kids loved it!' They laughed out loud, hysterical,' she said.



Tribute: Another line of the latitude and longitude representing Shawnee, Oklahoma, Brad's place of birth have been added to Angelina's arm, left, and, seen right in December, with just six lines before for the children's birthplaces


'We talk very openly in our house. Orphanage and birth parents are happy words in our house.'

Speculation ran rife about Angelina's seventh line of co-ordinates signifying the birthplaces of her six children, added as recently as a few months ago.

In photos, the full co-ordinates could not clearly be made out, and the inking led to speculation - raising the question whether The Tourist star had another adoption in the process.

Celebrity website Wonderwall asserted that the latest one, based on the numbers that can be made out, points to Algeria.


Playful: The actress said her brood 'loved' the film and 'laughed out loud, hysterical'


Family film: Kung Fu Panda 2 'deals with family and adoption,' said Angelina, pictured with co-stars Jack Black and Dustin Hoffman


However, in February the actress denied reports she was planning to expand her brood.
Other reports suggested the numerics referred to the latitude and longitude of Brad's birth place.

U.S. publication In Touch claimed to have inside knowledge that the marking was actually a tribute to Brad, 47.

A source revealed: 'She got the seventh line right around the time she and Brad moved the kids back to LA.


World famous: Angelina Jolie and Jack Black are at the Cannes Film Festival promoting the sequel to their film Kung Fu Panda


'After dragging their kids around the world, Angelina has finally agreed to Brad’s long-standing request to settle down.

'But in return, she demanded a permanent commitment — the tattoo, which signifies family unity.'

The artwork was first seen when Jolie toured a refugee camp last month on the Tunisian-Libyan border.

She was there in her capacity as a UN goodwill ambassador to appeal for aid for the thousands fleeing war-torn Libya.

The Oscar-winning actress was pictured on the red carpet in December at the Spanish premiere of The Tourist with just six lines of co-ordinates.

Each one refers to the respective birthplaces of her children - Maddox, aged nine (Cambodia), Pax, seven (Vietnam), Zahara, six (Ethiopia), Shiloh, four (Namibia), and two-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox (France).

Angelina has around 14 known tattoos. Among them is a Latin proverb, 'quod me nutrit me destruit' meaning 'what nourishes me destroys me' plus a famous quote from Tennessee Williams, 'A prayer for the wild at heart, kept in cages'.

She also has the title of a song by The Clash, 'Know Your Rights' on the nape of her neck plus a 12in by 8in tiger lower down on her back.
