VENICE GOLDEN LION GOES TO LAV DIAZ'S THE WOMAN WHO LEFT


Thierry Fremaux, take note: my man Lav Diaz deserves a space in your official selection some year soon, not just in Un Certain Regard, ocurrrrr? After winning the biggest international awards ever bestowed upon Filipino films at Locarno and Berlin festivals, he tops his own personal best by winning Venezia 73's Golden Lion for The Woman Who Left; I posted the trailer for it just yesterday. Check out the full list of winners below, which include several awards for major Oscar contenders, despite the highly arthouse flavour of the top winner.
