Venice Film Festival: Golden Lion Award Wins Russian Film 'Faust'

The Venice festival is considered an important stop for many Academy Award hopefuls, but the Golden Lion is certainly no guarantee of eventual Oscar glory. Alexander Sokurov won the Golden Lion award at the Venice film festival on Saturday for "Faust," a visceral take on Goethe's play which explores the theme of corrupting power.

"Faust," which bested 21 other films in competition, including Tomas Alfredson’s adaptation of John le Carre’s “Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy”; George Clooney’s American presidential campaign drama “Ides of March;” and David Cronenberg’s “A Dangerous Method.” Also competing were Roman Polanski’s “Carnage,” an adaptation of Yasmina Reza’s Broadway play “God of Carnage”; Steve McQueen's sexually charged "Shame"; William Friedkin’s “Killer Joe”; and Todd Solondz’s “Dark Horse,” starring Mia Farrow.

"Faust" is screening at this week's Toronto International Film Festival, where it's likely to now become a hot ticket. The film stars Johannes Zeiler, Anton Adasinskiy, Isolda Dychauk, Georg Friedrich and Hanna Schygulla.

The best screenplay award went to "Alps", Yorgos Lanthimos' a tale of actors who try to help people grieve by playing the role of their recently deceased loved ones.
