  • 10 years ago
The Turkish film 'Winter Sleep' has won the top prize at the Cannes Film Festival.

This is Director Nuri Bilge Ceylan's fifth outing at Cannes.

The film, a dark tale of isolation, is about an overbearing man who controls the lives of those around him.

Director Jane Campion, who led the jury, said the film was "masterful".
