At the Venice Film Festival, the Swedish surrealist comedy A Pigeon Sat on a Branch, Contemplating Existence received the Golden Lion for Best Film. Earlier, it seemed there that Birdman was going. Run off with the price
A Pigeon Sat on a Branch, Contemplating Existence of Roy Andersson is the last part of a trilogy about the human condition. Earlier impressed the Swedish director already Songs from the Second Floor (2000) and You the Living (2007). NRC journalist Coen van Zwol, who from the festival did report predicted that the film would fall in prices but not that the work of Andersson Golden Lion would win:
A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence with Birdman towered above the competition out. But the Swede Roy Andersson been doing this for fifteen years, this godforsaken funny, mournful sketches – and better than ever. But not new.
Birdman, that was just everywhere tipped, fell completely out of the prizes. The film by director Alejandro Iñárritu Michael Keaton a sidetracked actor, who tries one more time. Plays On the scene. Van Zwol estimated the odds of Birdman at the festival positive:
if only because the jury was looking for something new. The style of this surreal comedy, a seemingly uninterrupted ‘long take’ is decided. Alejandro Inarritu’s grotesque comedy wants a narcissistic Hollywood star making real drama.
The Silver Lion for best director went to The Postman’s White Nights , the 77-year old Russian Andrei Konchalovsky
. The best actor and actress were in the same film: the jury was the chemistry between Adam Driver and Alba Rohrwacher in Hungry Hearts so strong that both actors have fallen in prices
