Add to this new films, split across the Venice Days, Orrizzonti and Out of Competition sidebars, from an array of interesting names
including Chantal Akerman («Almayer's Folly»), Mary Harron («The Moth Diaries»), Al Pacino («Wilde Salome,» the cast of which
includes — you'll never guess — Jessica Chastain) and even James Franco (here furthering his friendship with American gay culture with a biopic of 1950s
teen idol Sal Mineo) and there should be more than enough to explore even once the festival has blown its pre-Toronto load.
