Surprising many analysts, an Indian film, Mira Nair’s Monsoon Wedding, has won the Venice Film Festival’s Golden Lion award. The low-budget film was shot with hand-held cameras in only a month. “I wanted to make something small, but I am so very happy to say that it has become big,” Nair told today’s (Monday) London Times. “If we win and we happen to be women, then wonderful,” she added. The best actor award went to Luigi Lo Castro for the Italian film The Light Of My Eyes (Luce Diei Mei Occhi). The best actress award went to Sandra Ceccarelli for the same film.
