Now that's what I call a result. Samuel Maoz's dazzling debut Lebanon, which I raved about last week, today scooped the Golden Lion at the 66th Venice Film Festival."I dedicate this award to all those thousands of people all over the world who came back from the war, like me, safe and sound. Apparently they are fine. They walk; get married; have children. But inside them the memories will remain etched in their souls," said Maoz after receiving the prize from jury president Ang Lee.
