Ryan Gosling wins an award for best actor in Stockholm Film Festival
Stockholm, Nov. 26 (AP): Director Laurie Collyer's feature debut ``Sherrybaby'' was named best picture at the 17th annual Stockholm International Film Festival, organizers said on Sunday.
Collyer won the Bronze Horse award for ``a pure and heartbreaking work about survival and dignity,'' the festival jury said.
The film, starring Maggie Gyllenhaal, follows a young woman recently released from prison who tries to reconnect with her young daughter while confronting her old life and drug abuse.
``It takes you on a desperate quest for love, through a landscape of struggle, guilt and broken dreams which at times is hard to watch yet impossible to forget,'' the jury said.
Gyllenhaal also won the Best Actress award for her performance in the film, while Ryan Gosling was named Best Actor for his part in director Ryan Fleck's ``Half Nelson.'' The festival, which ends on Sunday, showcased 170 films from nearly 40 countries.
