'Lady Vengeance' Scoops Unofficial Prizes at Venice

"Brokeback Mountain" by Taiwanese-born director Ang Lee beat Korea's "Sympathy for Lady Vengeance" to the Golden Lion at the 62nd Venice Film Festival that concluded on Saturday (local time). Failing to earn an official award, Park Chan-wook's latest walked away with three unofficial honors: the Young Lion Award, Best Innovative Film Award and Cinema of the Future.

Lee made his Hollywood debut in 1995 with "Sense and Sensibility", which won the Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival. His martial arts epic "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was a box-office hit in 2001. "Brokeback Mountain", based on a Pulitzer-winning novel by Annie Proulx, the author of the "The Shipping News", is a tale of two cowboys coming to terms with their homosexuality in 1960s America.

The Silver Lion for best director went to Philippe Garrel for "Les Amants Reguliers". The special jury prize was awarded to "Mary" by American director Abel Ferrara. David Strathairn, the star of George Clooney's "Good Night and Good Luck" won best actor, and Italy's Giovanna Mezzogiorno won best actress for "The Best in the Heart".
