Trenque Lauquen sweeps 2022 ICS awards
Sometimes, all it takes is four nominations to win four awards! Laura Citarella's four-hour drama Trenque Lauquen has been declared the best film of 2022 by the International Cinephile Society, winning in all the categories where it was nominated. Doing so, it beat two hot favourites: Albert Serra's Pacifiction, which won three prizes from its nine nominations, landing in second place in the Best Picture lineup and claiming a joint Best Director award alongside Citarella, and Charlotte Wells' Aftersun, which also won four prizes from its ten nominations, the most of any movie this year with the ICS.
