Meanwhile, the national film “Argentina, 1985”, performed by Ricardo Darín and Peter Lanzani about the trial of the boards, which had had a great reception in its gala performance and was rumored could win one of the awards of the Mostra , was left with nothing and returns from Venice empty-handed.
The only consolation for “Argentina, 1985” was the two unofficial awards it received yesterday: Best Film awarded by the International Federation of Critics Fipresci and a Special Mention at the Signis Awards awarded by the World Catholic Association of Communication.
Poitras’ film follows the life and battle that photographer Nain Goldin wages against the powerful Sackler dynasty of the pharmaceutical industry, responsible for nearly 400,000 deaths from overdoses of their opiate medications.
As best actress and actor in Venice, the Volpi Cup was won by two Hollywood stars: the Australian Cate Blanchett, who receives this award for the second time – the first for “I’m not There” – for her performance as an accused conductor of sexual harassment in the film “Tar” by Todd Field; and the North American Collin Farrell for his performance in Martin McDonagh’s “The Spirits of the Island”.
The Silver Lion for Best Direction was received by the Italian director Luca Guadagno for his film produced in the United States “Bones and All”; the Grand Jury Prize went to the film “Saint Omer” by French director Alice Diop, the Special Jury Prize to “No Bears”, by Iranian director Jafar Panahi, while the Best Screenplay went to Martin McDonagh for “The Spirits of the island”
