Golden Starfish Award for Best Narrative Feature: "The Misfortunates," directed by Felix van Groeningen
“The Misfortunates,” directed by Felix van Groeningen was the big favorite at the Hamptons International Film Festival taking home 3 awards including the top prize Golden Starfish Award for Best Narrative Feature.
Based on the best-selling semi-autobiographical novel by author Dimitri Verhulst, The Misfortunates depicts the life in a small country town of 13 year old Gunther who lives with his father and uncles in a world of drinking, gambling and a general yobbish lifestyle. Days are filled with gambling, drinking competitions and if lucky, nude bicycle competitions. What starts out as low-brow comedy soon becomes a bittersweet tale about the need to break beyond your upbringing and family environment.
