British director Ken Loach has won his second Palme D’Or at the Cannes Film Festival for his film I, Daniel Blake.
“I, Daniel Blake” is a warmly realistic drama about a middle-aged widower in northern England who can neither work nor get government benefits after a heart attack.
Loach previously also won the top award for “The Wind That Shakes The Barley.”
The award for the 79-year-old, the festival’s top prize, was announced by actor Mel Gibson at the Sunday ceremony at the Palais des Festivals on the French Riviera.
