A nearly four-hour long movie about a woman's thirst for revenge and her feelings of forgiveness after 30 years in jail for a crime she did not commit won the Venice Film Festival's top prize yesterday. Director Lav Diaz has described Ang Babaeng Humayo as a testimony to the struggles of the Philippines after centuries of colonial rule.<br/><br/>Diaz, who at the Berlin Film Festival in February had premiered a film that ran over eight hours, said he hoped the latest recognition would create more appreciation for longer movies.<br/>Twenty U.S. and international movies featuring top Hollywood talent and auteur directors were in competition at the world's oldest film festival, in its 73rd outing this year. The event is seen as a launching pad for the industry's award season.
