Mike Tyson, might be retired from the ring, but he's still knows how to wallop. This weekend, the Un Certain Regard jury at Cannes honored James Toback's documentary about the prizefighter with a special "Knockout" award.

The jury was bowled over by the selection this year, honoring more than its usual three: "Our mission was to attribute three prizes for Un Certain Regard, but considering the quality and richness of the offerings, and as a testimony of our great enthusiasm, the jury requested of the festival permission to recognize two more films with honors," said Faith Akin, president of the Un Certain Regard jury.
