Authors of works that have earned them the honors past festivals and critics, the Swedish Andersson and Russian Konchalovsky presented at that 71 th Mostra, the plastically dramatic films, but the scenarios, no real tension, the limit of the flat EEG, do not not reflect any necessity, any entry in either the present or even something more intimate who would report a personal vision. Awarded the Special Jury Prize, Sivas , the first film of the Turkish Kaan Müdjeci, falls under the same category, except that the author has not a work behind him.
WANDERING IN TEHRAN
At intermediate levels of the charts, the jury obviously preferred topics on form. Best Screenplay, Ghesseha ( Tales ) of Rakhshan Bani-Etemad, is as a wandering like marabou string in the streets of Tehran, which weaves dashed a portrait of Iranian society today. The director portrays the sticking guns Film Panahi and Kiarostami, but never approach the formal rigor of his masters.
rewarding the young Roman Paul Marcello Mastroianni Prize for Best Male Newcomer The jury put a spotlight on The Last Hammer Bash , the second feature film by the French Alix Delaporte (director of ‘Angèle and Tony ), which tells a naturalistic mode, dripping good feelings, but framed by a terribly academic scenario, the story of a boy who lives with his mother, who suffered from cancer, in a caravan, and arrived in town who sees his father, a conductor he has ever known.
LOW LEVEL COMPETITION
Second part of the work of American filmmaker Joshua Oppenheimer on the massacres of Communist sympathizers by the Indonesian military in 1965, The Look of Silent e is of necessity also a film “about”, although his staging, sober and intelligent, is absolutely perfect.

And then there has had doubled and Adam Driver Alba Rochwacher respectively Best Actor and feminine for Hungry Hearts , Italian film shot in New York by Saverio Costanzo. These awards are the only ones to distinguish a movie in search of some new form of expression, a little contemporary.
The level of competition was certainly low and palmares at least had the deserves to ignore his most unworthy representatives – The Cut , the historical epic Fatih Akin on the Armenian genocide, Fires on the Plain , the film hysterical war Shinya Tsukamoto Manglehorn , by David Gordon Green or lamentable The Good Kill, by Andrew Niccol. We regret that it has not incorporated, instead of them, movies like Hill of Freedom , delicate sentimental variation Hong Sang-soo with lightness, humor, suspense have delighted, as always with this obsessive Korean, or wonderful “Olive Kitteridge” miniseries four hours produced for HBO.
The weakness of the 2014 vintage Venetian is it a sign of down instead of the Mostra festival in geopolitics, or that of a relative low level of movies this year? Time will tell. The jury was in any case an opportunity to defend other options as he has chosen, tell a different story. Totally obscuring the Pasolini , Abel Ferrara, the Leopardi , Mario Martone, 3 Hearts , Benoit Jacquot, The price of fame , Xavier Beauvois, 99 Homes , Ramin Bahrani, he turned his back on the most vibrant most romantic fringe, the most populated of the competition.
