(ANSA) - ROME, MAR 27 - Liliana Cavani told ANSA Monday
hearing of her career Golden Lion from the Venice Film Festival
had been "beautiful wake-up news" when she awoke in America

the 90-year-old Night Porter director by Princeton University.
"The Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement? It was wonderful news
of my awakening," said Cavani who turned 90 on 12 January.
