ROME – The four Oscars scored with the aid of "Birdman" are sparking controversy in Italy the place several media outlets are lamenting that Alejandro G. Inarritu's pic went empty-surpassed after igniting the Venice film festival last yr on its opening evening.
The Venice jury, headed through French composer Alexandre Desplat – who himself on Sunday gained the Oscar for normal rating for "The Grand Budapest inn" – certainly snubbed "Birdman," selecting as an alternative to give the Lido's Golden Lion to an extra "chicken" film, Swedish director Roy Andersson's absurdist drama "A Pigeon Sat on a branch Reflecting on Existence."
"Birdman' and its overlooked Venice chance," titled Turin day-by-day La Stampa on Tuesday.
"we're left with a bitter taste in our mouth for that film, about which we may have mentioned that it won the Golden Lion before the Oscars," the paper referred to.
"Zero prizes for 'Birdman' in Venice – someone please warn the otherworldly juries in Cannes and the Lido – who went gaga for the three-hour Turkish film, or for the Swedish pigeon, that Hollywood movies aren't shit," blasted revered Italo pop tradition site Dagospia.
Dagospia additionally took problem with Cannes, where ultimate 12 months's jury, presided by way of Jane Campion, gave the Palme d'Or to Turkish director Nuri Bilge Ceylan's "winter Sleep."
while Venice creative director Alberto Barbera is retaining mum, the Lido on Monday issued a proud observation by way of Paolo Baratta, who presides the Venice Biennale which oversees the fest. Baratta underscored that each "Birdman" ultimate 12 months and "Gravity," in 2013, launched globally as the Venice film festival's opening films. "Bridman" did so in competition, whereas "Gravity" changed into an out-of-competitors entry.
"If the greatest and most dynamic movie trade in the world entrusts the world premier of films meaning to the Oscars to the Venice film festival, this looks to me a crucial signal of the foreign prestige that our competition enjoys nowadays," boasted Baratta. and never with out reason. Venice does seem to have a magic contact when it involves Oscar, including its daring alternative of final year's jury prexy.
definitely, when it comes to the arguably unjust Venice verdict on "Birdman," the non-Hollywood alternative made by way of Desplat and his jury didn't jinx the pic's Oscar possibilities.
