Who can win the Golden Lion for Best Film?

For the first time, national and international critics came to a consensus: the film that made the most impression and Poor things (ten minutes of applause, especially for Stone’s performance) directed by Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos, was shown on Friday September 1st, Emma Stone and her colleagues, including Willem Dafoe and Mark Ruffalo, did not attend the Venice Film Festival, nor did many other actors from – for the strikes of Hollywood actors and writers.

Golden Lion: Green Border

green borderAgnieszka Holland’s new film is one of the films nominated for the Golden Lion Award by international critics.

Plot

In the treacherous swampy forests that form the so-called “green border” between Belarus and Poland, refugees from the Middle East and Africa trying to reach the European Union find themselves trapped in a geopolitical crisis cynically engineered by Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko.

For national and international critics, Maestro is another film that could win the Golden Lion. The film was very popular in Venice, the decision not to allow anyone (except workers) to the press conference and then to the red carpet was dubious (at least one of the producers could appear).
