"Belgian film 'The Child' wins Cannes's coveted Palme d'Or

CANNES, France (AFP) - 'The Child', a Belgian drama about a petty thief who sells his baby son, won the Cannes film festival's prestigious Palme d'Or at a red-carpet ceremony.

The movie, by sibling directors Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne, triumphed over a field of 20 other pictures by a veteran pack of American, European and Asian filmmakers.
The brothers dedicated the prize to Florence Aubenas and Hussein Hanoun, a French journalist and her Iraqi interpreter who have been held hostage in Iraq since January."
