Keira's Labor Day: A Working Weekend at the Movies
When most of us think of Labor Day weekend, we make tracks toward the beach, the woods or--if you're not going anywhere--the sales at the mall. But why not the balmy shores of Venice? If the Cannes Film Festival is the movie world's Memorial Day, then the Venice International Film Festival, home of the Golden Lion award, is summer's last hurrah. You won't get a tan in all those screenings, but at least you get to see the stars!
Cannes' festival may be better known for its prestige and glamour, but Venice's is actually the oldest in the world, founded way back in 1932. Because they're closer to our traditional Oscar season, they often pick up prestige films that aren't ready in time for Cannes--like Keira Knightley's latest, "Atonement," a tragic romance set between the World Wars in England.
