Venice Winners
Yesterday the topics of the film critics were unanimous: The winners of the Venice Film Festival. Kim Ki-duk‘s film Pietà won the main prize and will thus hopefully make it to our cinemas soon.
Paul Thomas Andersons new feature The Master was also celebrated by the critics and awarded by the jury with prices for both leading actors, Joaquin Phoenix and Philip Seymour Hoffman and director Anderson. Apparently the jury wanted to simply give all available awards to The Master, but as that was against the Venice rules, Pietà got lucky!
