Venice Film Festival 2011 - Winners

The 68th Venice Film Festival is officially over. This year's Jury had to choose among 23 movies, but they were so deeply impressed by one of them so it was obvious (for them) who should get the main prize. I'm very glad for Russian director Aleksander Sokurov, whose movie won it, and I'm sure Michael Fassbender deserved his one. Now I'm very exited to watch "SHAME" he starred in.
