Filipino Director Brillante Mendoza was awarded as the best director at the Cannes Film Festival, Sunday for his film “Kinatay,” AFP reports.

The report also said that, “Mendoza in “Kinatay” traces 24 hours in the day of a trainee policeman, happily beginning with his wedding in the morning to close with the young man’s first outing at night with a band of corrupt colleagues. To his surprise, fear and anguish, they pick up a prostitute accused of betrayal and wind up torturing, raping, killing and hacking her before disposing of the body parts across Manila.”

“This is not just entertainment, these kinds of stories are real,” Mendoza said.

Mendoza’s, “Serbis” was also one of the films competing for the top prize at Cannes last year.
