The main attraction of this festival (the oldest one in the world) is none other than the Golden Lion, Silver Lion for the Jury's pick for Director and Film, and the secondary ones (yet important as well) are the Volpi Cups for Best Actor/Actress .http://www.labiennale.org/en/news/cinema/en/78166.html
The link above will tell you that Lee Ang has made big of his creations yet again by winning the Golden Lion for Love, Caution. A revolutionary movie, supposedly made big due to the sex scenes portrayed by the actors. Come on, let's just get over the asian perspective of these news already.
Honorary Award went to Tim Burton, who brought you many great movies like Big Fish, Edward Scissorshands and most recently, Charlie and the (wickedly yummy) Chocolate Factory. It is yet again a proving of self-worth to the world.
The movie that was supposed to open in Singapore but axed and delayed unpredictably is The Assasination of Jesse James, starring Brad Pitt, which according to him, its he's toughest role ever. There's a nude scene, is that why Singaporeans can't watch?
Another great movie to look out for, that will hopefully hit our shores is "I'm Not There" where 6 different actors depict different stages of the life of Bob Dylan, with Cate Blanchett picking the Cup for her acting muscle. She's playing a man!?Doesn't it remind you of Babel somehow?
Venice has high tastes for picking out the great movies, and since Hollywood is already in the last quarter towards the Academy Awards, this should be a great pre-cursor to what's hot in the Oscars seasons. People, look out!
