Joker Wins Best Picture ‘Golden Lion’ at the Venice Film Festival
A comic book motion picture has won the top respect at an esteemed film festival. Pause for a minute to give that sink access. Joker — the independent DC film featuring Joaquin Phoenix ahead of the pack and coordinated by Todd Phillips (The Hangover set of three) — was granted the Golden Lion at the 76th Venice International Film Festival throughout the end of the week, which came as an astonishment to everybody considering Warner Bros. was said to go for broke by debuting it at the world's most seasoned film festival. Also, film festival prizes are by and large distributed to films that have genuine Oscar-winning accreditations — that has been the situation for three of the last five Best Picture champs — which at that point contends that Joker is presently taking a gander at some Oscar force.
"They took comic book folklore that has been done from multiple points of view and toppled it and rejuvenated it until further notice," Venice Film Festival jury part Mary Harron said after the honors function on Saturday in the Italian city. The Canadian chief Harron was one of seven jury individuals close by Toronto International Film Festival official executive Piers Handling, French on-screen character Stacy Martin, Mexican cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto, Japanese filmmaker and entertainer Shinya Tsukamoto, Italian chief and screenwriter Paolo Virzì, and Argentine essayist executive and jury president Lucrecia Martel. Harron said she likewise cherished Phoenix's work, however, Venice principles keep top film and acting distinctions from heading out to a similar motion picture.
Tolerating the honor, Phillips agreed and stated: "There is no motion picture without Joaquin Phoenix. Joaquin is the fiercest and most brilliant and most receptive lion I know. Much thanks to you for confiding in me with your crazy ability." In turn, Phoenix noticed the number of executives and the "wild and diverse gathering" on the Venice jury as he said thanks to them for granting his film with the Golden Lion. Phillips likewise expressed gratitude toward Warner Bros. for "venturing out of their customary range of familiarity and taking such an intense swing on me and this motion picture."
Joker's success at the 2019 emphasis of the Venice International Film Festival wasn't the main astonishment. In an intensely dubious move, the festival's second greatest/next in line grant — the Grand Jury Prize — was given to chief Roman Polanski's An Officer and a Spy, a French show about the political outrage the Dreyfus Affair. Polanski was indicted for statutory assault in the US in 1978 and has since been a criminal, living for the most part in France. After the ascent of the #MeToo development, Polanski was deprived of his Oscar enrollment in 2018, over 40 years after he conceded.
