From a festival whose jury is presided over by Quentin Tarantino, one should be ready for anything. A nighttime presentation of Machete, for example, the most recent film of Robert Rodriguez. It's a turbo-paced action movie with a cast that includes Danny Trejo - who goes from his standard "cameo" appearances to a leading role, dusting off the art of knife-fighting perfected in prison cells - to Robert De Niro, Michelle Rodriguez, Jessica Alba and Lindsay Lohan.
The festival's director Marco Müller writes in L'Uomo Vogue that this year's Film Festival expresses an increased need to experiment, to mix genres and push the art form towards new territories, recording moving images by taking advantage of all the means available today, with the aim of telling stories and evoking strong feelings.
Among the contestants in Venice this year, Sofia Coppola brings Somewhere, starring actor Stephen Dorff and receives the most prestigious honor from in Italian television, the Telegatto award.
