As international film festivals go few are on the scale of Venice and the premiere Italian fest has just announced their complete lineup. Notable titles in competition? Darren ARonofsky's The Wrestler, Takeshi Kitano's Achilles and the Tortoise, Miyazaki's Ponyo on the Cliff, Oshii's Sky Crawlers, Barbet Schroeder's Inju and Yu Lik-Wai's Plastic City. Outside of competition? Plenty to love there as well: the Coen's Burn After Reading, Fabrice Du Welz's Vinyan, the new Coffin Joe film and loads more.
