"Se, Jie" takes top honors
Will this be the next "Midnight Cowboy" the only X-rated film to make best picture?
I wonder if someone could ask me how many NC-17 films have taken the Golden Lion at Venice. I could not find one... but perhaps I missed one.
In case you haven't heard, Ang Lee took top prize at the Venice Film Festival for "Se, Jie" a WWII story of spies and sexual intrigue (Lee hinting the sex may have been real on the set), which if anyone had a lick of sense would know that violates equity rules. Evidently the press and critics booed Lee when they announced the winner.
Ebert reviewed the film last week in Toronto.
Any thoughts?
