So long, Joker. On Saturday, the Venice Film Festival crowned a new group of winners, including a new Golden Lion winner this year, and there's not a stitch of clown makeup to found anywhere. With Cate Blanchett leading this year's prestigious jury, the 2020 Venice Film Festival put their seal of approval on an early awards season frontrunner and a selection of international films worth keeping your eye on.

The jurors for the 2020 Venice Film Festival main competition, led by Blanchett, included director Veronika Franz (Goodnight Mommy), British filmmaker Joanna Hogg (The Souvenir), German director Christian Petzold (Phoenix), Italian novelist Nicola Lagioia, and actors Matt Dillon and Ludivine Sagnier (Swimming Pool). Together, the jurors concluded Chloé Zhao's Nomadland was deserving of the prestigious Golden Lion. The movie, which stars Frances McDormand, follows a middle-aged woman who takes up a nomadic lifestyle while facing the hardships and highs of said lifestyle in the wake of losing everything in the Great Recession. Nomadland is Zhao's third feature film following 2017's The Rider and 2015's Songs My Brother Taught Me. It is also the predecessor to Zhao's considerably larger-scale Marvel feature Eternals, which is set to bow in 2021.
