Giuseppe Tornatore's Baaria - La porta del vento receives the opening sweet spot and also gets to compete in the 66th edition of the Venice Film Festival. Tornatore's Malèna lead Monica Bellucci makes a supporting role appearance, but it is a pair of unknowns in relative newcomers Francesco Scianna and Margaret Made who play the leads in a film that spans three generation from the 1930's to the 70's and deals with of intricate life in a Sicilian village revolving around the couple who go onto touch many of the villager's lives. Future audiences will also be pleased that Ennio Morricone has once again paired with Tornatore - Morricone did the score for The Unknown Woman. Summit Entertainment holds the international rights to the comedy.

Reviews
Review: Spring Fever
A heavily flawed film that does a disservice to its quintet of characters by abruptly ending each character's final chapter before it even begins making Spring Fever a film that never manages to find itself. Audiences who've followed his past efforts such as Purple Butterfly and Summer Palace will be puzzled by erotica without reason, by the undefined terms in which the characters are set in and the lack of dramatic focus.
Interviews
Interview: Amir Bar-Lev (The Tillman Story)
Pat has a very wide appeal and people who admire him come from different parts of ideological spectrum. So we didn't want to alienate a part of our audience because the film is about Pat more than anything. So we wanted to invite everybody to the dialogue of what actually happened to him and the country at the time.
