A documentary tracing an artist's campaign against the family behind the US opioid drug epidemic scooped the Golden Lion, the top prize at the Venice Film Festival on Saturday.
Cate Blanchett won her second Venice acting award for her intense role as a predatory classical music conductor in"Tar" -- having won in 2008 for her unexpected turn as Bob Dylan in"I'm Not There".
But the jury, led by Julianne Moore, determined that the best of the 23 films in competition was"All the Beauty and the Bloodshed". "Someone who could decide to take on the billionaire Sackler family, which is ruthless and responsible for countless deaths and so much bloodshed." The Special Jury prize went to"No Bears" by Iran's Jafar Panahi who in July was imprisoned for"propaganda against the system". His detention was the subject of a flash-mob protest Friday on the Venice red carpet, led by Moore.
