Two directors who made headlines at the Cannes Film Festival for their conduct off screen saw their movies win top awards last night.
Terrence Malick’s “ The Tree of Life” clinched the main Palme d’Or award. The publicity-shy U.S. filmmaker wasn’t there to collect it. He had reporters wondering about his reclusive behavior as he also missed the film’s premiere and press conference, which he left to the picture’s star, Brad Pitt.
