Ridley Scott has collected tonight the new Cartier Glory Prize awarded by the Venice Film Festival for an “incredible and prolific career” and for his “Naturalness to approach the different genres”, according to Alberto Barbera, director of the Mostra.
Scott received the award at the Lido Cinema Palace before the screening of his latest film, “The last duel”, a story with feminist overtones set in 14th century France that puts the point final to this 78th edition of the contest.
Sparing in words, the director of key works in the history of cinema such as “Blade Runner”, “Alien” or “Gladiator”, read a thank you in which he mentioned all the filmmakers who have served as inspiration.
In particular he has thanked Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, writers and protagonists of “The last duel” who came to him to ask him to direct it.
“It has been a challenging film that in my opinion sheds light on an important topic, I think it is one of my best films”, Scott pointed out to an audience where his actors and the actress and singer Jennifer Lopez were.
The Cartier Glory is a newly created award from the Mostra conceived to distinguish “To a personality who has marked contemporary cinema in a particularly original way”.
