Buzz: Also playing in Venice, just like Soi Cheang, I know nothing about the film or the filmmaker, but the reviews from Italy and the synopsis have made me extremely curious about the pic.   

The Gist: A self-styled “accident choreographer,” the Brain is a professional hitman who kills his victims by trapping them in well crafted “accidents” that look like unfortunate mishaps but are in fact perfectly staged acts of crime. Perennially plagued with guilt, he is also suspicious and morbid by nature. The recent avalanche of memories of his lost wife does not make things any easier.
