    Honour: Kirsten Dunst poses next to Venezuelian actor Edgard Ramirez after being awarded with the Prix de l'Interpretation Feminine (best actress) for Melancholia
    Kirsten Dunst conquered the Cannes Film Festival by taking the best actress award from a jury led by Robert De Niro and for a movie made by banned film-maker Lars von Trier.
    The 29-year-old star thought her chances of winning at Cannes were dimmed after Von Trier was made persona non grata by the festival's board after telling a press conference he understood Hitler and that he 'was a Nazi'.
    The comments sent shock waves through the film world.
    Kirsten told the Mail Online that she kept thinking, 'Lars, shut up'.
    She added: 'He's a great film-maker who, sometimes I feel should let his films speak for themselves.'
    In any event, the actress who has come a long way since starring in the Spiderman pictures.
    ©Touched: She was awarded the coveted prize during the closing ceremony of the 64th Cannes Film Festival
    She gives a terrific, deeply felt performance in Von Trier's film Melancholia as a newly-wed bride who instantly regrets her marriage while at the same time the planet Earth is on collision course with another planet.
    Her character Justine is an utterly depressed young woman .
    'I understood a little of what Justine was going through', the actress told the Mail Online.
    ©Dressed for the occasion: Kirsten looked stunning in a silver and white floor length dress
    It is a huge triumph for Kirsten as there was formidable competition from the likes of Tilda Swinton who starred in the British entry We Need To Talk About Kevin.
    The win also helps Kirtsen make a shift from main stream Hollywood films to more independent fare.
    The big award of the night, the Palme d'Or went to Terrence Malick's epic visual poem
    The Tree of Life which starred Brad Pitt and Sean Penn.
    ©Best actor went to Jean Dujarin for the enchanting picture The Artists which took a touching glance back to the era of silent films.
    Best director went to Nicolas Winding Refn for his work on the brilliant but bloody-
    thirsty thriller Drive which starred Ryan Gosling who is excellent as a movie stunt car driver by day and a getaway driver by night.
    Carey Mulligan, Oscar Isaac, and Christina Hendricks also star in the film which opens in the UK in the Autumn.
    Other prizes went to the superb French movie Polisse which looked at a Parisian child
    protection unit.
    Jury members included Uma Thurman and Jude Law.

  • Bono's little girl steps out of her father's shadow at Cannes... but has co-star Sean Penn by her side for support

    Bono's little girl steps out of her father's shadow at Cannes... but has co-star Sean Penn by her side for support
    By JESSICA SATHERLEY
    ©Co-stars: Sean Penn looked after his family friend and co-star Eve Hewson on the red carpet at Cannes, who is the daughter of U2 frontman Bono
    Her famous father is used to the spotlight, but last night it was the U2 frontman’s daughter’s turn to steal the limelight at Cannes.
    Eve Hewson showed that she’s no shrinking violet by strutting down the red carpet in a stunning black and pink Chanel ensemble for the film premiere of This Must Be The Place.
    The 19-year-old stars in the crime thriller alongside her father’s pal Sean Penn and Talking Heads singer David Byrne.

    And Penn made sure to act as a protective father figure for Eve on the red carpet by staying close by her side throughout the night, as her parents didn't attend the event.
    Eve certainly picked up some tips from Bono on how to turn heads, and looked lovely in the light pink skirt, black bodice and sheer overlay alongside Miu Miu heels, while Penn wore a Giorgio Armani tux.
    Earlier in the day she had attended a photo call for her new film too, and opted for a Miu Miu dress with a neon green cut-out leather yoke.
    Being in the company of stars including Gwen Stefani, Rosario Dawson and Faye Dunaway didn’t seem to faze the young actress at all and appeared calm and relaxed.
    ©Cute in Chanel: Eve turned heads in a light pink skirt, black bodice and sheer overlay by Chanel, alongside Miu Miu black heels
    This Must Be The Place is not Eve’s first appearance on screen though and had her first debut in 2002 on her father’s video documentary ‘U2 Go Home: Live from Slane Castle’.
    She also appeared on Irish chat show The Late Late Show in 2003 and in 2008 had a role in the drama The 27 Club - which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York.
    Eve also had a starring role last year in a short film titled For The First Time, but her latest project is by sure her largest.
    This Must Be The Place sees Penn play a wealthy former rock star in Dublin, who is now bored and embarks on a quest to find his father’s persecutor – an ex-Nazi war criminal now hiding out in the U.S.

    Learning his father is close to death, he travels to New York in the hope of being reconciled with him during his final hours, only to arrive too late.
    Having been estranged for over 30 years, it is only now in death that he learns the true extent of his father’s humiliation in Auschwitz at the hands of former SS Officer Aloise Muller – an event he is determined to avenge.
    While Eve plays his 16-year-old friend covered in tattoos, who rides around on a skateboard – which she admitted was hard to master.

    Sean Penn no doubt picked up some tips from Bono on how to play a rock star, but the U2 star did not attend yesterday’s event.
    But Bono is no stranger to Cannes and in 2007, he played alongside the rest of U2 at the top of the Palais steps to launch the screening of concert film U2 3D.

    ©Fashionista: Eve Hewson opted for a Miu Miu dress with a neon green cutout leather yoke for the photo call, while Penn decided to wear his denims
    Eve is Bono and his wife Ali Hewson’s second-eldest daughter and grew up in Dublin with her three siblings, Jordan, 22, Elijah, 11, and John, 10, away from public exposure.
    Her youngest brother John turns 10 today, which he will no doubt be celebrating with his famous family at home in Ireland.
    ©Proud parents: Bono and Eve's mother Ali Hewson (seen here in Dublin last month) didn't attend Cannes this year and are thought to be back in Ireland to celebrate their 10-year-old son's birthday today

    The Men in Black actress looked radiant in a dramatic red strapless gown as she arrived at the festival premiere of film This Must Be The Place earlier tonight.
    The 32-year-old actress smiled and posed for photographers, despite reports that she has split with her French DJ boyfriend Mathieu Schreyer.

    'I know her close friends did not love his personality. He wasn't that smiley type of guy.'
    And according to other sources, Dawson was the one who ended the relationship.
    'She broke up with him,' they told the magazine.
    ©As they were: Rosario pictured alongside ex-boyfriend Mathieu Schreyer last October

    'They seemed really happy. They were kissing and there was a point in the concert where Prince was calling people up on stage and they were up there holding hands.
    'They seemed very in love.'
