Sundance 2019, i vincitori: trionfa ‘Clemency’

Clemency di Chinonye Chukwu, che vede la bravissima Alfre Woodard nei panni di un’addetta alla sicurezza in una prigione di massima sicurezza alle prese con un’esecuzione che si avvicina, ha vinto il Gran Premio della Giuria al Sundance Film Festival del 2019, che ha chiuso i battenti sabato sera a Park City.

Il premio del pubblico è invece andato a Brittany Runs a Marathon di Paul Downs Colaizzo, che ha come protagonista Jillian Bell ed è stato venduto ad Amazon per 14 milioni di dollari. Miglior regia a Joe Talbot per The Last Black Man in San Francisco, che ha vinto anche il premio speciale della giuria, mentre Share di Pippa Bianco è stato premiato per la sceneggiatura. Un riconoscimento è andato anche a Honeyboy di Alma Har’el, con Shia LaBeouf negli abiti di suo padre.

A bocca asciutta l’unico italiano in cartellone, ovvero “La scomparsa di mia madre” (The Disappearance of My Mother) dell’esordiente Beniamino Barrese, in concorso tra i lungometraggi documentari e incentrato sulla mamma Benedetta Barzini, ex top model, musa di grandi artisti, poi giornalista, scrittrice, femminista, docente universitaria.
