It was a favorite for the Golden Leopard and who bet on Right Now, Wrong Then , the Korean Hong Sangsoo, to win the Locarno Festival in 2015 nailed it. The 17th realization of the South Korean filmmaker leaves Locarno with the top prize and with what distinguishes the best male interpretation, in a history that still acknowledged Cosmos Andrzej Zulawski, Tikkun of Avishai Sivon and Happy Hour Ryusuke Hamaguchi of.
It was under the persistent rain and the occasional thunder that the jury by the programmer Daniela Michel, actress Moon So-ri, the directors Jerry Schatzberg and Nadav Lapid and the actor Udo Kier awarded on Saturday afternoon the history of 68.ª editing Locarno
After 16 films that were integrated into the competitions of the world’s festivals, Right Now, Wrong Then is the first film of Hong Sangsoo to receive the top prize.; It is also the second time that the director receives an award in Locarno, where he won the conducting trophy in 2013 with Our Sunhi .
This story of a love drip director who flirts with a young artist during a brief stay in a Seoul suburb also paid Jung Jaeyoung the Leopard for Best Actor.
The Special Jury Prize was given by Israeli film Tikkun , Avishai Sivon, around the near-death experience of an ultra-orthodox academic and his resurrection at the hands of his father – a surprise given that the film had been off the radar of most observers, accompanied by special mention to the board work Shai Goldman photography.
Andrzej Zulawski received the Leopard for Best Director for Cosmos adaptation of Witold Gombrowicz’s novel round in Portugal and Portuguese co-production [Paul White] . This will certainly be the most unanimous award of history, as the energy and the Polish filmmaker personality made shadow much younger filmmaker, regardless of polarized opinions on Cosmos .
Finally, the Leopard for best female performance was delivered ex-aequo and recognizing an excellent set of work, Sachie Tanaka, Hazuki Kikuchi, Maiko Mihara and Rira Kawamura, the four main actresses of Japanese film Happy Hour , which also received a special mention for the argument.
It is a history less “bold” than one would expect, playing with “cash cows”, and it is inevitable to see him, so as “reverse” the medal, or counterpoint to the “radicalism” of history more openly copyright 2014 (Golden Leopard for the Filipino Lav Diaz, best achievement for Pedro Costa).
But it is a history that confirms the feeling generally divided the contest left in a “tug of war” between veterans to fine-tune their identities and filmmakers to work for the future still in search of his. In this case, the first left winners. Nothing against – reflects the festival that spawned it – but we only have pity it has ignored one who was not only for us but for many observers, the great film festival, Bella and perduta , Pietro Marcello . It is the greatest injustice of history perhaps too straight-laced coming from a festival that always expect the challenge and take us further.
In the parallel competition Cineasti del Present (jury chaired by Julio Bressane), thithi Indian Raam Reddy was the Best Picture, with the Chinese Bi Gan to win the award for Best Emerging Director for Kaili Blues and the Special Jury Prize to go into the hands of the Spanish Mauro Herce by Dead Slow Ahead .
