An Irish-made film took the top prize at the 59th Cannes Film Festival last night when the coveted Palme d'Or was presented to English director Ken Loach for the Irish War of Independence drama, The Wind that Shakes the Barley.

This is the first time a film made in Ireland has taken the world's most prestigious film festival's top award...

Can't wait to see this! Finally, Cork is in the limelight!

Don't want to be too hopeful and then be disappointed.
Am also trying not to read foreign reviews...

Fair enough. I read a bit about it in Le Monde - it was funny seeing them describe the Black and Tans and all to a French audience that wouldn't have a clue.
