The jury of the 72nd edition of the Venice Film Festival, which ended Saturday at Lido, awarded the Golden Lion at Since Allah , the Venezuelan Lorenzo beams.
Beautiful Golden Lion, and so much more beautiful as the jury gesture, chaired by Alfonso Cuaron, was not even expected. From Allah films, accurately but thrilled the clash between two characters, a homosexual fifties and a teenager from the streets of Caracas, a relationship that goes across borders, it is sex, is economic dependence, is parental protection is … coldness and impatience impregnated by the class struggle.
There are two opposing worlds are two actors from different lives, one is a star of the Chilean theater, Alfredo Castro (the Tony Manero ), another a young man from the streets of Caracas, Luis Silva. The meeting, fierce, loving, lonely, scares – they are awesome. If Castro is the “superstar” whose participation immediately changed the scale of the film (in terms of production), Luis Silva have here a very strong debut. They promise you already heaven and earth in terms of career. And Beams promises to continue a trilogy on “paternity” of this film, which follows a short, is the film medium.
The magnificent presence of the actors seems to have been decisive in the other premiums history. It’s like the jury – made up of Emmanuel Carrère, Nuri Bilge Ceylan, Pawel Pawlikowski, Francesco Munzi, Hou Hsiao-hsien, Diane Kruger, Lynne Ramsay and Elizabeth Banks – had known find, through the energy of the performers, the possible narrative to consecrate a contest that has remained too long in loss, only meeting up again in recent days.
The French Fabrice Luchini, theater actor, furious histrionic (provided an unstoppable press conference …), plays a judge who makes the courtroom in a theater in L’Hermine , Christian Vincent – the film received the award for interpretation and argument premium. A curiosity: Luchini was already the actor Vincent in his first film, La Discrete , presented 25 years ago in Venice
Valeria Golino, playing a Neapolitan fighting with itself and. against the family environment, in search of his transcendence, is the director of the love object Giuseppe M. Gaudino in Love Per Vostro . This love, excessive, unbalanced, naive and surreal (the film is) can lead to accepting unreservedly. It is the continuation, by the way, the love story of Gaudino by volcanic fury of Naples
Even in animated film. – Technical Stop Motion – as Anomalisa , Charlie Kaufman and Duke Johnson (Grand Jury Prize) this reunion with existentialism (Kaufman è the head of Want to be John Malkovich and Adaptation ) is given without diversions. And if so thin also due to the intimacy created by the voices of Jennifer Jason Leigh, Tom Noonan, David Thewliss, who interpret the personagems the film. I nicialmente a sound piece that was represented by actors in Los Angeles in 2005, Anomalisa amplifies the effect of intimacy of the stage.
