Spanish director wins one of ‘big three’ European film festivals for first time
Pedro Almodóvar’s The Room Next Door, the Spanish director’s first film in English, has won the Golden Lion, the top prize, at the. The most memorable moment of the ceremony, taking place at the festival’s campus on the Lido, came when Nicole Kidman, winning best actress, paid tribute through a proxy to her recently deceased mother.
Kidman, as busy as at any point in her career, took best actress for her brave performance as a senior executive carrying on a passionate affair with a younger intern in Halina Reijn’s sharp, sexually explicit Babygirl. Kidman was not in the auditorium, but her director was there to deliver a notably moving speech.
Corbet first attracted attention when The Childhood of a Leader, the first of his three features, won him the Lion of the Future award at the 2015 Venice festival. “One of the great honours of my life has been to present a film alongside this extraordinary selection of filmmakers,” Corbet continued.
