With Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune” and Jane Campion’s “The Power of Dog” also Venice-bound, it all begs us to ask the question; will Venice outshine Cannes this year? This is having some in the industry buzzing, but don’t be fooled, Cannes is still the Mecca of cinema. If you’re looking for Oscar-buzz then, yeah, maybe Venice wins out, but, in terms of pure world cinema quality, Cannes always gets the top spot. But Venice this year … If you’re not festival-ed out yet, the Venice lineup is just over a week away. I am continuing on with my Venice predictions, updated below, and it is looking like it will be a mighty fine edition filled with big names. Just look at some of the titles destined for the Lido this year:“Blonde” - Andrew Dominik”Madres Paraleles” - Pedro Almodovar"The Power of the Dog" - Jane Campion"Triangle of Sadness" - Ruben Ostlund"The Card Counter" - Paul Schrader”Last Night in Soho” - Edgar Wright"The Hand of God" - Paolo Sorrentino"Spencer" - Pablo Larrain”Fire” - Claire Denis"Driftwood" - Michel Franco"Il buco" - Michelangelo Frammartino“Another World” - Stephane Brizé"Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon" - Ana Lily Amirpour”Official Competition” - Gaston Duprat, Mariano Cohn”Freaks Out” - Gabrielle Mainetti“Mali Twist” - Robert Guédiguian“Veneciafrenia” - Alex la Iglesias“Lost Illusions” - Xavier Gianolli“Henrico’s Farm” - Lav Diaz Contribute Hire me
