The Venice film
festival opened yesterday with big-budget Italian movie Baaria, a sentimental sweep through 20th-century Sicily taking in Fascism, war, Communism and the mafia.
Billed as one of Italy's most expensive movies ever, costing ?25-million ($39-million), the first homemade film to open
Venice in around 20 years kicks off 11 days of screenings, photo shoots, parties and red carpet glamour on the Lido island.
Director Giuseppe Tornatore said the story of a poor family living through the upheavals of the last century was partly based on his own memories of life in Sicily.
He told reporters ahead of the premiere that he wanted to use his birthplace as a microcosm of what was happening in the wider world.
"The idea was not to tell the story of Sicily," he said, speaking through a translator. "The idea was to tell the story of a number of characters in the microcosm of a small town, hearing the echoes of what was happening around the town and far from that town," he added.
While Venice organizers would welcome an Italian hit on the Lido after homegrown films have generally flopped in recent years, the success of the
festival will be judged as well by how many Hollywood stars and U. S. movies it attracts.
The early signs are promising, with Matt Damon, Michael Moore, Nicolas Cage, George Clooney, Oliver Stone, Charlize Theron, Richard Gere and Sylvester Stallone among those expected to walk the red carpet.
Damon appears in The Informant!, in which he plays a crooked company whistleblower, and Moore brings Capitalism: A Love Story, a documentary attacking corporate greed and analyzing the recession.
Clooney, who has a home in Italy and is a local favourite, appears in The Men Who Stare at Goats, about a reporter who stumbles across a U. S. military unit in Iraq which employs paranormal powers on its missions. Author Cormac Mc-Carthy's post-apocalyptic vision of the world in The Road makes it to the big screen, starring Viggo Mortensen and Theron.
U. S. director Todd Solondz is in the main competition lineup of 23 films with Life During Wartime, while Oliver Stone will be in
Venice with his documentary South of the Border about Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.
The cinema complex on the Lido waterfront is being rebuilt in a makeover designed to drag the world's oldest film festival into the 21st century and help it compete with other festivals, notably the Toronto International Film
Festival, which it overlaps.
