Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos has notched another international success with his film “ The Favourite” at the 75th Vienna Film Festival, which came away with the Silver Lion Grand Jury prize and the Coppa Volpi Best Actress Award for one of his protagonists, Olivia Colman, ANA reports.
This was the second time that Lanthimos left the Venice Film Festival with a prize under his belt, after the best screenplay award won by his film “ Alps” in 2011. In a press conference about his film, Lanthimos noted it focused on three women who were “ complete human beings” whereas the male view in cinema tends to see women as wives, girlfriends and objects of passion. “ We made multidimensionsal, beautiful, nightmarish women. Complex, as any human being,” he said.
