Yesterday they announced the Best Film and this time I tend to definitively agree with the winner as I REALLY love the trailer. I just hope the film is as good as the trailer as I have taken a peak at some comments/reviews and some like the film while others find it "boring"...Best Film: A Single Man, Tom Ford, USA, 2009
This is the announcement for those that understand Italian.
Il film di Tom Ford "A Single Man" si e' aggiudicato il Queer Lion 2009, il premio al miglior film a tematica omosessuale della Mostra del Cinema di Venezia, da quanto dichiarato dalla associazione culturale Cinemarte che organizza il premio. La giuria e' composta da Gustav Hofer e Luca Ragazzi (presidenti), Peter Marcias, Roberto Schinardi e Mark Smith. La giuria ha assegnato il Queer Lion 2009 all'unanimita' al film di Tom Ford "per la perfezione formale con cui viene raccontata la storia di un uomo che vive con dignita' la perdita del proprio amore e perche' ci ricorda l'urgenza di leggi che garantiscano la parita' di diritti, affinche' gli omosessuali possano vivere i loro amori alla luce del sole".
Watch the EXCELLENT trailer @ Movie On Companion

ReplyDeleteHi, Already up the Venice Days and Critics' Week... The closing ceremony is at 7:00pm Italy time and I wont be able to watch it live, unless Rai International gets the Rai 4 feed... but, in about three or so hours we will learn all the winners. ;)
ReplyDeleteAbout Tom Ford's movie: "When are they going to produce a lesbian interest movie with these production values????"
ReplyDeleteWell, where I live we have this saying, "If you want something done, go and do it". ;)
Well... then... Why don't WE do it???
ReplyDeleteYep, that's my line of thought!
ReplyDeleteThen we have to "move" from thought into Action! lol!
