“Pieta” is the Italian word for pity, but also applies to the artistic image in sculpture or painting of the Virgin Mary cradling the dead body of Jesus, evoking a mother’s love for her son. Yonhap said the title “gives the false impression that the film is about trying to find meaning in life through religion.”
Other prizes were:
Best emerging actor or actress: Italian actor Fabrizio Falco for roles in two competition films, Daniele Cipri’s “It was the Son,” and Marco Bellocchio’s “Dormant Beauty.”
Best screenplay: French director Olivier Assayas for “Something in the Air.”
Best technical contribution: Cipri for “It was the Son.”
