An indication that Atom Egoyan's Chloe will most definitely find a competition slot in Venice, TIFF has uncharacteristically went with a foreign English language title as the film festival's opening night selection.

A sub-par edition of Cannes might signify a better than average year for the heads of the Venice and the Toronto Int. Film Festival. I'm sure Venice's Marco Müller and TIFF's Piers Handling and Cameron Bailey are already making some tough decisions as we speak.
