A director's debut film resets a classic US courtroom drama in modern China, Xu Fan reports.
When Xu Ang held aloft the top award of the 9th Roman International Film Festival, the director had never expected this moment.
On Oct 25, the closing day of the event, more than 900 votes from moviegoers, including insiders and reporters, decided that the Marcus Aurelius Award, for the best movie in the festival, should go to the legal drama Twelve Citizens. It was Xu's debut film.
