21 de filme in competitie la Venetia

Charlize Theron, Kim Basinger, Ralph Fiennes si Anne Hathaway sunt doar cateva dintre vedetele care vor veni la cea de-a 65-a editie a festivalului de film de la Venetia. Organizatorii festivalului au anuntat cele 21 de titluri in cursa pentru Leul de Aur si, la prima vedere, aceasta pare mult mai omogena decat cea de anul trecut, dominata de filme americane. Ultimul Darren Aronofsky (acesta tocmai a anuntat ca va regiza urmatorul RoboCop), The Wrestler, este unul dintre cele mai asteptate titluri din competitie, cu Mickey Rourke in rolul unui luptator trecut de prima tinerete, obsedat de o ultima confruntare cu principalul sau oponent. Guillermo Arriaga, celebrul scenarist al unor filme precum Babel, Amores Perros si 21 de grame, debuteaza pe Lido cu The Burning Plain, cu Charlize Theron si Kim Basinger in rolurile principale. Jonathan Demme (Tacerea mieilor, The Manchurian Candidate) revine cu Rachel Getting Married cu o comedie despre o tanara alcoolica (Anne Hathaway) care se intoarce acasa pentru nunta sorei ei. Pe langa cele patru titluri americane din competitie, tara gazda este si ea reprezentata de patru titluri, iar Japonia de trei, din care doua animatii. Cel mai asteptat film japonez este fara indoiala ultima creatie a lui Hiayo Miyazaki, Ponyo on Cliff by the Sea. Ferzan Ozpetek (La finestra di fronte) vine pentru prima oara in laguna cu Un giorno perfetto, iar Barbet Schroeder (Avocatul terorii) se intoarce pe Lido cu thriller-ul Inju, la bete dans l'ombre. Festivalul incepe pe 27 august, iar castigatorii vor fi anuntati pe 6 septembrie.
