Enrique Rivero's Mexican drama "Parque vía" won top honors Saturday at the 61st edition of the Locarno Film Festival.

Winner of the festival's Golden Leopard, the film centers on a elderly recluse (Nolberto Coria) who struggles to reconnect with the outside world after living in an empty house for several years.  

The Special Jury Prize went to "33 sceny z zycia" ("33 Scenes from Life"), Malgoska Szumowska's drama about a young woman whose life slowly starts to fall apart after she learns her mother has cancer. Starring is German actress Julia Jentsch, whose credits include "Sophie Scholl: The Final Days" and "The Downfall."

Denis Côté took home the best director award for "Elle veut le chaos," a drama about a father who pushes his daughter into prostitution because he's unable to provide financial security for his family.

Meanwhile, Ilaria Occhini snatched the Leopard for best actress for her performance in Federico Bondi's "Mar Nero.
