Roman Polanski's film adaptation of the Tony Award-winning play GOD OF CARNAGE, "Carnage," received the Leoncino Prize at the Venice Film Festival, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The prize is awarded by area students.

The film, set to be released in the U.S. this fall, stars Jodie Foster, Kate Winslet, Chistoph Waltz, and John C. Reilly as two Brooklyn couples who meet after their children get into a schoolyard fight.
"Wilde Salome," Al Pacino's documentary about the making of his stage version of SALOME, won the Queer Lion Award.

"Faust," the final installment in Alexander Sokurov's four-part version of Goethe's classic tragedy, picked up the Festival's top award, The Golden Lion.
