MANILA, Philippines – Brillante Mendoza, director of the graphic crime shocker “Kinatay,” annexed the Best Director Award at the 62nd Cannes Film Festival.

“Kinatay” is the Philippines’ entry to the annual film festival.

A report from The Associated Press earlier described the Filipino film as something that “takes viewers on a nerve-rattling road trip from the bustling streets of Manila to an isolated house of horrors.”

"This is not just entertainment, these kinds of stories are real," Mendoza said of his film.

The Palme d'Or Award, the festival's top prize, went to Austrian film "The White Ribbon" by Michael Hanek.
