Organizers of the Shanghai International Film Festival announced late Sunday that Orhan Oguz's "Hayde Bre" won the Golden Goblet for best feature film. The jury led by “Rain Man” director Barry Levinson said in a statement it was impressed by Oguz's "stark, honest, unflinching look at a mother dealing with a modern world and her separation from her rural background."
The jury added that the movie was "effective, sometimes disturbing, but always true to its intentions." Emrulla's performance was «just perfect, simple but full of meaning.» The runner-up Jury Grand Prix went to Chinese director Han Jie's "Mr. Tree," the story of an average villager.
Han was also named best director. The jury praised Han for "being clear and understandable with a complex theme while staying subtle to avoid being simplistic." Best actress went to China's Lu Xingchen, who starred in "The Young Man Sings Folk Songs in the Opposite Door." The Zhang Ming film, which follows a complex love triangle, also picked up best screenwriter for the director and won best score for composer Wen Zi.
