Curtains are about to set on the Venice Film Festival. The upcoming TV series M – Il figlio del secolo by Joe Wright is maybe one of the most anticipated premieres in town. Starring as Benito Mussolini an amazing Luca Marinelli. Closing the Competition are two final chapters of as many trilogies. The first is Love (after Sex and Dream) by Norwegian Dag Johan Haugerud – a film on changing sexual mores, and on male homosexuality in particular. The second is an elegy: Youth: Homecoming by Chinese documentarist Wang Bing, a film on the crushed dreams of exploited textile workers. Out of competition, plenty of weighty titles: our beloved Takeshi Kitano is back with mysterious, meta-linguistic film Broken Rage, while Francesca Comencini presents her autobiographical, familial The Time It Takes, starring Fabrizio Gifuni. In the Orizzonti section, workplace drama One of those Days when Hemme Dies by Turkish filmmaker Murat Fıratoğlu and the very current Of Dogs and Men by Israeli Dani Rosenberg, a film on an adolescent’s adventure to find his dog after the October 7 massacre. The International Film Critics’ Week ends with Little Jaffna by Lawrence Valin, a film on a Tamil neighbourhood in Paris. The Venice Days programme’s last entry is Basileia, filmmaker Isabella Torre’s debut feature. As we wait in trepidation for the award ceremony, our screens will show Horizon – An American Saga by – and starring – Kevin Costner and the Gothic The American Backyard by Pupi Avati.
