Superlatives

"which has been called one of the greatest in the history of cinema"....So what? It's a landmark film......(but is it on Rolling Stone's "Top-Ten" list?).. It's a nearly meaningless statement that offers no insight. Badiacrushed (talk) 03:24, 13 October 2017 (UTC)

Cleanup of awards needed

Can someone please clean up the mentions of awards? I agree with the "Prix Louis Delluc" (although according to the Louis Delluc Prize article this should read "Louis Delluc Prize for Best Film").

However, "winner of the Grand Prize at the Venice International Film Festival" looks incorrect. The articles for Golden Lion, Grand Jury Prize, and other awards mentioned in the Venice Film Festival article do not mention Diary. The 12th Venice International Film Festival article (which is flagged as needing additional citations for verification) shows the film being nominated in the main competition, but losing to Rashomon. It shows it winning Best Cinematography and, in the Independent Awards, winning the International Award, the OCIC Award, and the Italian Film Critics Award.

Has someone got definitive information? Masato.harada (talk) 09:08, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

As the author who replaced the mention of the Venice “Grand Prize” with the more specific awards, I wanted to clarify that I was working off the list of awards on IMDB. It’s considered a questionable source here, but “Grand Prize” seems obviously inaccurate to me and I didn’t want to make the perfect the enemy of the good. I’ll check for better sources when I can. I should note that the Internet Archive is going through some technical difficulties so it may be hard to pull good sourcing from Italian Wikipedia. I'm not sure I agree about anglicizing the Prix Delluc - we don't normally call the Palme D'Or the Golden Palm. Namelessposter (talk) 14:01, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi there - I found an archived version of the Venice Film Festival website with Wayback Machine. It mentions wins for Cinematography and "International." It doesn't mention the OCIC or Italian Film Critics Awards. I put that cite on the wiki. I've left OCIC/Film Critics on the wiki since they still have an IMDB source, but I've posted a note calling for a better source.

The old mention of Diary as winning the Grand Prize probably stems from Bresson's obituary in the NYT, but I don't think that is right. Namelessposter (talk) 19:35, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
