Venice Film Festival 2011 prizes



Silver Lion goes to People Mountain People Sea; acting prizes go to Michael Fassbender for Shame and Deanie Yip for A Simple Life.

Faust, the final chapter in Russian director Alexsander Sokurov’s four-part series on power has won taken the Golden Lion in the 68th edition of the Venice Film Festival.
Upon presenting the award, jury president Darren Aronofsky said “Some films make you dream, some make you cry, some make you laugh, some change you forever after seeing them …we are from different corners of the planet but we unanimously chose this film - it is my honour to give the Golden Lion to Faust from Alexsander Sokurov.”
The Russian master’s film is not a traditional adaptation of Goethe’s classic - in fact on the Lido many considered the film difficult to watch - although it still rated well with critics.
