The Golden Lion, the highest distinction of the Mostra, was awarded to The Room Next Door by Pedro Almodóvar. The film starring Julianne Moore, Tilda Swinton and John Turturro, which follows on from Pauvresèbres by Yorgos Lanthimos, does not yet have a release date in France.
The Grand Jury Prize was awarded to the feature film Vermiglio or The Mountain Bride by Italian director Maura Delpero, who follows on from the film Le mal n’existe pas by Ryusuke Hamaguchi, which won the award last year.
On the acting side, Nicole Kidman won the Volpi Cup for Best Actress for her performance in Babygirl. The Volpi Cup for Best Actor went to Vincent Lindon for his performance in Playing with Fire. Paul Kircher won the Marcello Mastroianni Award for Most Promising Actor for his role in Their Children After Them.

The award for best screenplay went to the duo Murilo Hauser and Heitor Lorega for I’m Still Here. They succeed Pablo Larrain for El Conde. Georgian director and screenwriter Dea Kulumbegashvili was also awarded the Special Jury Prize for her film April.
France, which presented 4 films in competition – Their children after them by Zoran and Ludovic Boukherma, Play with fire by Muriel and Delphine Coulin, Three Friends by Emmanuel Mouret and Youth (The Return) which completes Wang Bing’s trilogy devoted to contemporary Chinese youth – does not leave this ceremony empty-handed but rather with two prizes awarded to two top actors: one who is just starting out, Paul Kircherand the other confirmed, Vincent Lindon.
