Cineuropa have produced a deluge of other probable titles that neither IONCINEMA.com, nor Screen Daily or for that matter any other trades have mentioned in their predictions lists for the biggie festival next May. I think some of the names/titles aren't better than pure specuIation, but are informed guesses.
This year's Venice Film Festival (Aug. 27-Sept. 6.) looks like what the top tier of the medal standings might be comprised of at the upcoming Olympic games.
Dainipponjin (Big Man Japan) takes on the quintessentially Japanese Kaiju genre (giant monster movies preferably done with men in rubber suites) and strips away all the artifice with a This is Spinal Tap-esque mockumentary... a brilliantly executed satire with a truly unique perspective on the monster movie.
The final tally and full list of films presented at this year's TIFF have been announced today and hardcore cinephiles will have many options available to them out of the 261 film selected.
