Nominations have caused real surprise. The prize for the best film went to a documentary.

“Sacro GRA” of Gianfranco Rosi about life along the highway that circles Rome.

It is the first time that Italian film has won the top prize in Venice in 15 years, when last Gianni Amelio became a “Lion” for “The Way We Laughed” in 1998. It feels like Renaissance of the Italian cinema and come back of the Fellini-time. Indeed, the genre of storytelling of Rosi is a nod to Italo Calvino’s post modern pen and Federico Fellini’s romantic portrayal of the same road in his epic “Roma” (1972).
