As the 2011 Cannes Film Festival concluded tonight in France, Robert de Niro and the jury presented awards to close out the event. Terrence Malick’s The Tree of Life was the winner of the Palme d’Or, the festival’s award for best picture.

The reclusive director did not take the stage to accept the prize, but one of the film’s producers, Bill Pohlad, said that Malick was too shy to receive the award.
