Keith Simanton's Ten Films I Want to See in Venice
It's the 80th anniversary of the Venice Film Festival, also affectionately known as the "Mostra" (meaning "Exhibition), although the math is a little squishy. The first year the festival claims is 1932. But, as Paolo Baratta, former President of La Biennale di Venezia, wrote in the forward to Peter Cowie's succinct and clear-eyed "Happy 75th" book, "the number...is not actually a perfect indication. There were years in which the Biennale Cinema organized activities, some were called Mostre but fell under a sort of demnatio memoriae (1940 - '42), some were not called Mostre and were not attributed a number." Regardless, here are the 10 films I want to see during this historic anniversary. - Keith Simanton
