Original Toronto Star caption: Talk about recognition. Getting a standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival - from critics and audiences - for your directorial debut and having your jewelry covetted by that Material Girl herself, Madonna. That's the luck of the draw for Toronto director Deepa Mehta, who makes her feature directorial debut with Sam and Me. It was all totally unexpected, said Mehta modestly. The Madonna incident happened during the party circuit. [Incomplete]
