Since I came back earlier I didn't have the chance to see the Golden Lion's winner
Sacro Gra by Gianfranco Rosi
Silver Lion for Best Directing
Miss Violence by the Avranas
(on which I strongly agree)
Great Prize of the Jury
Stray Dogs by the Taiwanese director Tsai Ming-liang
Special Prize of the Jury
Die Frau des Polizisten by Philip Groning
On this I slightly disagree, I think this work of art deserved more, in my opinion it was the best film in competition, the story, the directing, the actors, but, especially, the film's layout which required both effort and attention from the spectators trying to fit all the pieces together, as composing a jigsaw.
Best Male Interpretation
Themis Panou, for Miss Violence
Even though his interpretation was very good I personally preferred the male protagonist, David Zimmerschied in Die Frau des Polizisten.
Best Female Interpretation
Elena Cotta for Via Castellana Bandiera
Elena Cotta was certainly the best performer in the film, and she deserved a prize. But I didn't particularly liked it, even though many seem to be so enthusiastic about it, I can't get over the stunning performance of Judi Dench, which I can only link to one word: Perfection.
Prize Marcello Mastroianni
Tye Sheridan for Joe by David Gordon Green as best emergent actor
Best Screenplay
Steve Coogan and Jeff Pope for Philomena by Stephen Frears
I'm happy that the film managed to win this deserved prize, but I also think it could win more. Fortunately it had a very good recognition winning the Golden Mouse, being the online press' favourite. I'm also sure it's going to shine at the London Film Festival too. Congrats.
