The awards were announced and will be presented this Saturday night.
There was a tie in the Grand Prix.
Bafici reaches its most turbulent end, with a tie for the top prize between the Brazilian film A paixão segundo GH, by Luiz Fernando Carvalho, and the Argentine co-production El placer es mío, by Sacha Amaral.
Carvalho adapted Clarice Lispector’s novel about a Rio de Janeiro sculptor who goes through an existential ordeal when, following a heartbreak, she confronts a cockroach in her maid’s room. Sacha Amaral, also from Brazil, focuses his film on a drug dealer who lives with his mother and steals from people he meets through apps.
