Loach film takes Cannes jury prize while Haneke takes top

British film-maker Ken Loach has won the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival with his whisky-tasting comedy, The Angels’ Share.

After winning the prize – awarded to the third-placed film at the international movie showcase on the French Riviera – Loach said his film about the struggles of a group of unemployed Glasgow youths proved that cinema is “not just an entertainment – it shows us who we are”.
