The Golden Lion goes to the French «L’événement»: Audrey Diwan’s film won the most important award at the 78th edition of the Venice Film Festival.
Not one of the big Eve favorites was this intense dramatic feature film (based on the novel of the same name by Annie Ernaux) set in 1960s France, starring a brilliant student who sees her life suddenly change when she finds out she got pregnant.

With final exams approaching and an unwanted pregnancy, the young woman will look for a way to have a clandestinely abortion.

An award that makes people talk

Able to shake and filmed with great directorial maturity, «L’événement», despite its merits, is not, however, one of the most successful and appreciated titles of this year’s competition and this award is preparing to be discussed for a long time. for the second consecutive year the Golden Lion goes to women, after Chloé Zhao’s victory with «Nomadland» last year.

Italians

Many hoped for Paolo Sorrentino’s victory with the powerful and exciting “It was the hand of God”, which won the very important Jury Grand Prix, in addition to the Mastroianni Prize (intended for emerging actors) for the young Filippo Scotti. Another Italian success is that of Michelangelo Frammartino, brave author from our home who has once again shown his talent with “Il buco”, a film that tells the story of a group of speleologists who went to explore a cave in the Calabrian hinterland: the film won the Special Jury Prize.
