Venice Film Festival | Cate Blanchett, Colin Farrell win top acting honors
The HinduCate Blanchett and Colin Farrell won the top acting prizes at the Venice International Film Festival on Saturday. “He’s been a great friend to me and I love him so dearly.” The 79th edition of the Venice International Film Festival came to a close Saturday evening as the jury gathered to hand out prizes to the films in competition in a ceremony hosted by Rocio Munoz Morales. Cate Blanchett also got universal raves for her turn in Todd Field’s TÁR, an intelligent drama about a renowned conductor at the top of her game in the world of international whose reputation suddenly comes under threat. Aside from awards, it was a Venice for the books, with high glamour from Timothée Chalamet, who stunned in a red backless halter neck from Haider Ackermann, and Florence Pugh, looking the part of a movie star in a sheer tulle off the shoulder Valentino that slyly evoked both classic romanticism and playful modernity, and high drama, mostly around Olivia Wilde’s Don’t Worry Darling.
