Mexico’s top film prize was handed out recently to Lake Tahoe, a comedy about a teenager’s coming to grips with his father’s death. At Mexico’s event, Ariels are awarded instead of Oscars.
33 Scenes From Life was the big winner at 2009′s Eagles — Poland’s national film awards. Malgośka Szumowska’s drama is a heart wrenching tale about sickness, death and growing older.
