CANNES: Sibling filmmakers Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne's `The Child,' about a 20-year-old petty crook suddenly faced with the responsibilities of fatherhood, won top honours today at the Cannes Film Festival. It was the second time a film by the Belgian brothers won the prestigious Palme d'Or, coming six years after their teen drama `Rosetta' took the main Cannes prize. The award was presented by Hilary Swank and Morgan Freeman, who won Academy Awards in February for Clint Eastwood's boxing saga `Million Dollar Baby.' Receiving the second-place grand prize was U.S. director Jim Jarmusch's `Broken Flowers,' a droll drama starring Bill Murray as an aging Don Juan in pursuit of the son he never knew he had. Tommy Lee Jones was honoured as best actor for `The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada,' his feature-film directing debut in which he plays a Texas ranch hand who forces his best friend's killer (Barry Pepper) to dig up the body and haul it for reburial in Mexico. Hanna Laslo got the best-actress prize for her role as a gabby cabdriver in Israeli director Amos Gitai's `Free Zone,' a road-trip tale through West Asia. — AP
