第62届威尼斯电影节开幕了。乔治·克鲁尼、格温妮丝·帕特洛、马特·戴蒙等影坛巨星都将来到威尼斯参加这场电影盛会。
周三，香港武侠巨片《七剑》拉开了威尼斯电影节的序幕，本届电影节将于9月10日闭幕。
共有19部影片参加竞赛单元的角逐，其中包括乔治·克鲁尼导演的《晚安，好运》、帕特洛导演的《证明》以及特里·吉列姆执导的影片《格林兄弟》。
受到上个月发生在伦敦的地铁爆炸事件的影响，本届电影节的安保工作格外严格。
马特·戴蒙将来到这座意大利小城，为他主演的影片《格林兄弟》做宣传。
参加角逐本届威尼斯电影节金狮奖的影片还包括：拉尔夫·费恩斯主演的《不朽的园丁》、凯特·温斯莱特主演的歌舞喜剧《爱情和香烟》，以及李安执导的西部片《断臂山》。
然而，来自西班牙和拉丁美洲的电影制片人和导演纷纷对本届电影节没有本国影片参赛表示不满。
