The best actress award went to Australian Cate Blanchett for her performance in “TÁR”, while the best actor award was given to Ireland’s Colin Farrell for his part in the tragicomedy “The Banshee Of Inisherin”. The documentary draws on many of Goldin’s images from her acclaimed slide show, “The Ballad of Sexual Dependency”, which documented New York subcultures from 1979-1986.

The Sacklers have denied wrongdoing but said in March that they “sincerely regret” that OxyContin “unexpectedly became part of an opioid crisis”. “She goes to the depths of her soul and shares things with us that most people don’t share with the people they are closest to, let alone to a public like this.”Saturday’s ceremony wrapped up the 11-day movie marathon, which drew an array of stars to the Venice red carpet – including Timothee Chalamet, Ana de Armas, Sadie Sink, Harry Styles, Florence Pugh, Penelope Cruz and Christoph Waltz.
