The sixtieth Karlovy Differ Worldwide Movie Competition got here to an finish tonight after its starriest occasion for fairly a while, doling out the well-known Crystal Globe for Excellent Inventive Contribution to World Cinema to the likes of Dustin Hoffman, Juliette Binoche, and cinematographer Robert Richardson. Competition President’s Awards went to Jesse Eisenberg, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Magda Vášáryová and Jeffrey Wright, although it stays unclear whether or not the Bacon household — Kevin, spouse Kyra Sedgwick and son Travis — obtained something for the mantelpiece in return from their go to to the picturesque Czech spa city with their self-explanatory horror-comedy Household Film.
Taking the highest prize this yr was the Myanmar-set drama Fruit Gathering (Thit-thee Khu) by Aung Phyoe, which, in response to the jury, “begins as a lush and meditative portrait of labor and friendship earlier than morphing, unexpectedly and organically, right into a harrowing drama of obsession and queer want.”
