The film "Joker" by American Todd Phillips, about the origins of Batman's nemesis, won the Golden Lion at the 76th Venice Film Festival. The Jury Grand Prize went to "J'accuse" by the French-Polish director Roman Polanski, a political thriller revisiting the Dreyfus Affair, an anti-Semitic scandal of the late 19th century in France, whose selection in competition in Venice had sparked a controversy because of the lawsuit against the director in the United States for the rape of a minor in 1977.
