The Venice International Film happened 2 weeks and the Toronto International Film Festival just ended! in my personal opinion the Venice Film Festival is THE most glamorous, because there isn't all the hooplah and insanity that surrounds Cannes, but more than anything it gives you an idea of what's going to be the serious Oscar bait for the fall. the brilliant, amazing and utterly genius Darren Aronofsky, the guy who did "Requiem for a Dream" (but more importantly "The Fountain") won The Golden Lion for Best Film for "The Wrestler." Darren is a huge proponent in why i'm so crazy about the film industry and movies. he always makes very intelligent, exciting and brutally honest films, and i can only imagine that "The Wrestler" is all of those things and much more, it actually just got a US release date.
While at Toronto the glamour is a considerably less, but the in terms of star power it lacks nothing. Anne Hathaway for "Rachel at the Wedding" has gotten rave reviews for her performance at both festivals. I'm just excited for both of these films from an a director I adore and a commercial actress who is actually willing to challenge herself.
