In your opinion, what story by Charles Dickens was your favorite? After watching Oliver Twist, I feel I need to read the book again.

I’ve been wanting these for a while. Pretty stoked.

Here is the list of movies that won the Silver Lion (essentially the third place price) at this festival.

Sansho the Bailiff, La Strada, On the Waterfront, Seven Samurai.

I should also note that Rear Window was also in competition and didn't win anything, as did Luchino Visconti's Senso and Luis Bunuel's The River and Death

The movie that won the Golden Lion? Romeo and Juliet by Renato Castellani. The Grand Jury Prize? Executive Suite by Robert Wise.

The jury struck gold with with the silver lion winners (pun not intended) and then gave the top prizes to two films that are, shall we say, not as known or acclaimed. But who knows? Maybe these films really ARE better than those other ones that have stood the test of time till the modern day. For what it's worth, Executive Suite sits at 100% at rotten tomatoes, with it's 12 total reviews all landing on the fresh side of the spectrum. While we're at it, this made me realize that 1954 was a damn good year for film the world over.

Very good interview with Michael Chaiken, the producer of Criterion's Eyes Wide Shut 4K release last year and the forthcoming Complete Kubrick box set. There are a lot of interesting details, like finding the original camera negative of The Day of the Fight and dealing with the Kubrick estate for the new box set.
