“Juno,” the story of an American teenager faced with an unplanned pregnancy, won the top prize at the Rome film festival on Saturday. The film is directed by 30-year-old Canadian-born Jason Reitman, whose 2005 comedy “Thank you for Smoking” scooped a string of awards and was nominated for two Golden Globes.
“It’s terrifying to bring your film to another culture,” Reitman said, calling his film “feminine.”
