2011 was a particularly competitive edition of the Venice Film Festival. Several films were considered potential laureates of the prestigious Golden Lion, yielding the most diverse sets of bets and predictions around the Internet. We're talking about The Idles of March (George Clooney), Tinker, Taylor, Soldier, Spy (Tomas Alfredson), Wuthering Heights (Andrea Arnold), Alps (Giorgos Lanthimos), Contagion (Steven Soderbergh), A Dangerous Method (David Cronenberg), Shame (Steve McQueen) and, although gathering very mixed reviews, Faust, by the Russian Alexandr Sokurov. The last was the favorite of the team headed by 2008 Golden Lion winner Darren Aronofsky.
The film I probably expect to see the most from this furnace, the Greek Alps, won Best Screenplay, an accomplishment I am therefore most pleased about and in which I bear my most serious expectations, having watched the prior Dogtooth. Michael Fassbender took the Coppa Volpi for Best Actor for his performance in Shame and Wuthering Heights won Best Cinematography (by Robbie Ryan).
