Hello, everyone. Today's small plate to give you an inventory of the best film that has won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival in the past decade.
The Venice International Film Festival is the world's first international film festival and is known as the "Father of International Film Festivals". Founded on August 6, 1932 in the famous city of Venice, Italy, it has been successfully held for 76 sessions so far.
Chinese-language films have won the Golden Lion Award many times, such as "City of Sorrows", "Qiu Ju Fights a Lawsuit", "Sex Ring", "Three Gorges Good Man" and so on.
Okay, so let's see the best film of the last decade.
2010 Best Picture "Somewhere"
Director: Sophia Coppola
The directorial work of the godfather's daughter, long shots, lazy narratives, and bland plots, but it is easy to show people's hearts and show people's loneliness. It seems that Sophia can't be an actress, but when she is a director, she still has a set, "The Death of a Virgin" filmed in 29 days, and "Lost in Tokyo" filmed in 27 days, all of which show her talent. However, this Golden Lion Award work, Douban score is not good, only 6.5 points, I hope the director continues to have a good work output.
2011 Best Picture "Faust"
Director: Alexander Sokolov
Filmed in Iceland, the film is the last in Sokolov's "The Power of Man" series, the previous three of which were "Moroch" about Hitler, "Forgetting Lenin" about Lenin, and "The Sun" about Emperor Hirohito of Japan. The scene of Iceland is extremely beautiful in the lens of the film, very poetic like the plot, in the clouds and fog, it is also very poetic, people who like it say it is literary, people who don't like it say it is boring. Douban score 6.8.
2012 Best Film "Holy Death"
Director: Kim Ki-duk
The film is fierce, very violent, very challenging to human nature, very much in line with Kim Ki-duk's taste. Douban score 7.7.
2013 Best Film "Rome Ring Road"
Director: Gian Franco Rossi
It's a documentary, and some say it's a pseudo-documentary. It presents a Roman style painting, without much complexity, without much conflict, but also records some unknown parts of the Roman city. Douban score 6.2.
2014 Best Picture "Cold Branches and Birds"
Directed by: Roy Anderson
This film is the final chapter of the director's "life trilogy" about human nature. The film has no linear narrative and consists of 39 scenes. The camera follows Sam and Jonathan, a pair of itinerant traders selling funny toys, and accompanies them door-to-door to sell goods, like a tour guide leading the audience through different places and different crowds.
The film inherits the director's usual directing style, poetic, gloomy, black humor and full of philosophical speculation. Douban score 7.8.
2015 Best Picture "From afar"
Director: Lorenzo Vegas
In caracas, the chaotic capital of Venezuela, Armando owns a dental clinic and lurks at the bus stop, looking for young boys to accompany him home for the night. One day Armando came home with an 18-year-old elder, the head of a small gang. This relationship will change their lives. Douban score 7.1.
2016 Best Picture "The Woman Who Left"
Director: Ralph Diaz
A framed woman, imprisoned for thirty years, is about to be released, when she learns that she has been rehabilitated, but thirty years is too long, so that she has some disconnection with society, but she still has to find out the truth of her own frame-up. Douban score 6.7, it seems that the domestic audience is not very buying.
2017 Best Picture "The Shape of Water"
Director: Gilmour del Toro
Toro's best-in-the-man film not only won the Golden Lion in Venice, but also won the 90th Academy Awards for Best Picture. The director can be described as a double gain of fame and fortune. Douban score is 7.2.
2018 Best Film "Roma"
Director: Alfonso Cuarón
This is a film based on the childhood memories of director Alfonso Cuarón, and Cuarón is actually a child in the film. The film is sometimes warm and sometimes cruel, showing an epic drama of a family in black and white. Douban score 8.2, very recommended.
2019 Best Picture "Joker"
Director: Todd Phillips
That's right, the Joker of Batman. He came, he came, he came with the golden lion! This film, adapted from DC Comics, is independent of the DC Universe.
After Heath Ledger, another actor successfully portrayed the role, he was Jacqueline Phoenix, and his acting skills were simply explosive. The plot rhythm is also excellent, and the Douban score has soared to 9.2.
It's not a superhero movie, it's a real crime drama, and if it weren't for Batman, you might forget it was a DC movie.
See if it is possible to release it in China, look forward to it!
