His fea­ture debut Fists in the Pock­et was award­ed at the 1965 Locarno Film Fes­ti­val and gave him recog­ni­tion all over the world. In 2011, he received the Gold­en Lion for Life­time Achieve­ment at the Venice Film Fes­ti­val. Since then, numer­ous ret­ro­spec­tives of his works were held around the world, includ­ing New York, La Rochelle and London.
