The International Jury of the 69th Venice Film Festival, presided over Michael Mann (the other members: Marina Abramovic, Laetitia Casta, Peter Ho-Sun Chan, Ari Folman, Matteo Garrone, Ursula Meier, Samantha Morton, and Pablo Trapero) has awarded this year’s Golden Lion to Kim Ki-duk’s Pieta.
Update: “Apparently during the jury’s first deliberations, members decided to give The Master the top prize, as well as the Silver Lion directing award to Anderson and the acting award jointly to co-stars Joaquin Phoenix and Philip Seymour Hoffman.” Matthew Belloni in the Hollywood Reporter: “But new festival rules apparently prohibit one film from garnering more than two major awards, so the jury was asked to re-deliberate to remove one of the awards. After what a source described as a heated session, the jury decided to take the Golden Lion away from Master and give it to Pieta.”
