Liliana Cavani told ANSA Monday
hearing of her career Golden Lion from the Venice Film Festival
had been "beautiful wake-up news" when she awoke in America
where she is taking part in a three-day study event dedicated to
the 90-year-old Night Porter director by Princeton University.
"The Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement? It was wonderful news
of my awakening," said Cavani who turned 90 on 12 January.
The director has just finished her new film L'Ordine del tempo
based on the novel by physicist Carlo Rovelli and starring
Alessandro Gassmann, Claudia Gerini, Valentina Cervi and Richard
Sammel, which will most likely premiere at the Venice Film
Festival (30 August - 9 September).
"I have a great bond with Venice," she said.
