\n\tThe Zurich Film Festival<\/a> will honor John Turturro<\/a> with the Golden Eye Award at the 22nd edition, which runs from Sept. 24 to Oct. 4.<\/p>\n

\n\tTurturro will receive the award for his performance in \u201cThe Only Living Pickpocket in New York,\u201d written and directed by Noah Segan. He will accept the award on Sept. 26, and will share insights into his career during a ZFF Masters session on Sept. 27.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cJohn Turturro is an iconic actor who made himself unforgettable with films like \u2018Barton Fink\u2019 and \u2018The Big Lebowski\u2019 \u2013 his characters leave a lasting, memorable impression,\u201d Christian Jungen, CEO of the Zurich Film Festival, said. \u201c \u2018In \u2018The Only Living Pickpocket in New York,\u2019 he carries the film from the very first minute to the very last, while also turning it into a deeply personal love letter to his hometown. Even though he portrays the antihero, we find ourselves rooting for him right until the end. That\u2019s exactly what John Turturro is characterized by: he creates characters that are exaggerated for the screen yet feel completely true to life at the same time. With the Golden Eye Award, we honor an actor who has left his unmistakable signature on cinema for decades.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn \u201cThe Only Living Pickpocket In New York,\u201d Turturro stars as Harry, a seasoned pickpocket whose carefully controlled life is thrown into turmoil when a job goes wrong, setting off a tense chain of events that unfolds over the course of 36 hours.<\/p>\n

\n\tTurturro said, \u201cI was immediately drawn to Noah\u2019s script and to the world he created in \u2018The Only Living Pickpocket in New York.\u2019 There\u2019s a sense of tension as the clock works against Harry, balanced by a finely drawn character-driven story set in a particular time and place in New York. As a lifelong New Yorker, the world felt rich and evocative, and there was a delicacy about it that felt almost radical about the story Noah was telling.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Zurich Film Festival will honor John Turturro with the Golden Eye Award at the 22nd edition, which…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":127624,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[6],"tags":[60333,51,27085],"class_list":["post-127623","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-zurich","tag-john-turturro","tag-zurich","tag-zurich-film-festival"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ch\/117235655826916597","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127623","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=127623"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127623\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/127624"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=127623"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=127623"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=127623"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
